Pages 4 and 5 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DhMbAbI1WqKzk5IEARMcAqlPK1uNWNlRQj4RQTj9OY4/edit
12:12:55 From Evin Erdogdu - ICANN org to Everyone:
Thank you Sarah
12:13:35 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
Does one still needs to fill the form if they are a member of an ALS? I understand you're a member of AFRALO by default if you're a member of ALS
12:13:54 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Keo, that is something that is changing now. I will explain
12:14:11 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
Thanks Sarah
12:15:14 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Yes Seun you're right, the rules section 5.7 should be edited accordingly
12:15:57 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
AI: @Sarah to copy and edit the rules section 5.7 including the criteria
12:16:18 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
Hello everyone
12:16:24 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
Apologies for joining late
12:16:40 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
The rules currently say " ceasing to meet the criteria terminates unaffiliated membership"
12:16:43 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
I will be giving my input through chat
12:17:08 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
hello Daniel, welcome
12:17:28 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Keo, I hope the explanation makes sense
12:17:55 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
Yes Sarah, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks
12:19:36 From Bukola Oronti to Everyone:
I think we already suggested that it should not be a disqualifying question. So it is better to put the caveat in italics for people to be able to give a honest answer
12:20:03 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
In the last meeting we agreed that it is a disqualifying question
12:20:08 From Bukola Oronti to Everyone:
besides there is no way we intend verifying their response. Unless we inted to do that too
12:21:47 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Note article 5.8 of the rules say : "ceasing to meet any of the above criteria terminates unaffiliated membership"
12:21:58 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
But in practice this has not been enforced
12:23:23 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Thanks Sarah!
12:25:25 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
I think, it's ok moving it there
12:25:45 From Innocent Adriko to Everyone:
It's fine with me
12:26:04 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
that's fine with me
12:26:06 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
It looks good to me
12:26:11 From Bukola Oronti to Everyone:
okay with me
12:26:18 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Thanks everyone for the input
12:26:40 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
Thank you Sarah
12:27:39 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
Its great that the form will be digitized
12:27:46 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
Digital form makes it easier to fill in by applicants.
12:28:40 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Will be nice to ask the web team
12:29:02 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
Thank you Evin.
12:29:12 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
AI: Evin to ask the ICANN web team on the digitalization of the application form and if a google form is possible
12:29:14 From Innocent Adriko to Everyone:
Digital form would be convenient enough.
12:29:45 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Thanks @Evin!
12:30:08 From Bukola Oronti to Everyone:
I will suggest it be a webform
12:30:15 From Evin Erdogdu - ICANN org to Everyone:
Great, so AI for me to 1) inquire about web form on At-Large website, 2) explore Google Form option, in the meantime 3) update the current PDF.
12:30:29 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
A web form will be great
12:30:59 From Seun Ojedeji to Everyone:
Thanks
12:33:18 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
A form that can give statistics would be great
12:33:46 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
Name, Gender , Demographics etc
12:34:54 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Barrack, thank you for this feedback
12:35:11 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
What else beyond gender can we add to the current form?
12:36:04 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Currently we have name, country of residence, occupation and contact
12:38:20 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
Maybe Sector representation
12:38:41 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
Government, Civil Society, Academia, Technical Community, Media
12:39:22 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
Might be usefull in knowing some of the strengths they have that we can tap into
12:39:31 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
It is AGM
12:40:01 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Thanks Barrack. Will update
12:42:50 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Our AGM is after 5 years I think
12:42:52 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
?
12:43:09 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Oh, ICANN AGM
12:43:13 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
My bad :-)
12:43:28 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
I think the ICANN AGm
12:51:36 From Bukola Oronti to Everyone:
+1 @Sarah's suggestion
12:52:21 From Keolebogile Rantsetse to Everyone:
before AGM would be more convinient
12:52:49 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Maybe 2 years
12:56:17 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Final draft will be shared with the group for final comments
12:56:21 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
By Isaac
12:56:37 From Barrack Otieno to Everyone:
Thank you
12:56:50 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
