Independent Examiner’s Final Recommendation

The ALT should be dissolved and its decision-making powers fully restored to the ALAC.

Issue Identified

Leadership Team (ALT), which is not mandated by ICANN Bylaws, concentrates in the established leadership too many decision-making and other administrative powers which should be spread among the members of the ALAC.

Does ALAC Support Recommendation?

Reject

If Not, Please Provide Reasoning.

The ALT consists of the ALAC Chair, two Vice-Chairs, and two other ALAC members totaling five ALAC Members, one from each of the five regions. The ALT does not make substantive decisions nor have any powers not already invested in the Chair, both according to the ALAC Rules of Procedure and in actual practice. It is a consultative and advisory body for the Chair and was created to allow the Chair to delegate to those who had indicated a willingness to put additional time into ALAC and to bring in a regional perspective. The ALT does on a regular basis make recommendations to the ALAC for its consideration.

If ALAC Does Not Support Recommendation, Does It Suggest an Alternative Recommendation?

If so, please provide a suggested alternative Recommendation.

    As Alan has pointed out the role and function of the ALT is already limited by the ROP. 

  3. Holly Raiche

    Agree with the above.

  4. Holly Raiche

    As well as the above, the broadening out of participation in WGs, in capacity building etc, etc. will ensure a broader base and liimit the role of the ALT


  5. Alfredo Calderon

    I agree that it should be rejected.  An Advisory / Consultive body enhances the opportunities to gather opinions/suggestions from individuals that represent otherwise voiceless individuals from regions represented.

    do not see any problems ITEMS had identified. we do not accept this point.

    ALAN, Glenn and other above already explained why it should not be accepted.
