Gisella Gruber-White: Welcome to the ALAC ExCom Meeting on Friday 30 March 2012 at 1300 UTC
Matt Ashtiani: Welcome All
Gisella Gruber-White: Welcome Heidi
Gisella Gruber-White: Welcome All :-)
Carlton Samuels: Hiya, howdy to all
Evan Leibovitch: The nice thing about having my own coffee gear, is that I get to make a quadruple espresso for meetings like this
Evan Leibovitch: I've said more than my piece about consumer metrics. If they haven't heard me by now they never will.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: but it might be worth emphasizing some points in a statement. To be discussed in a moment (Current Public Coments)
Carlton Samuels: @Evan on coffee gear: You know that's right!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: there is a nexus wothe the existing work from the ICANN Academy on Cap Building and the NEW Outreach Stnding SC of the AOAC with it's Regional Reps etc.,
Carlton Samuels: @CLO: Yes
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: sorry about the typos
Evan Leibovitch: outreach != capacity building
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Yes, but we should not assume that membership of the two should be one and the same.
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: I meant between Academy and Capacity Building.
Evan Leibovitch: important not to confuse the two -- capacity building is more about retention and 'inreach' than outreach
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Actually EVan, you can do outreach by doing capacity building. ;)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: yes @ Evan they need to be seen as two strings but of the same twine
Carlton Samuels: @CLO: very apt metaphor!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: thank you Carlton :) and heading for 0030 here :)
Carlton Samuels: @Alan on AT-Large wrapper on Capacity Building: +1
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Alan always talks sense. ;)
Alan Greenberg: [Blush]
Carlton Samuels: @Rinalia: This is why I ALWAYS encourage his inclusion in these events!
Carlton Samuels: :D
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Yes and we need to clone Alan so that he can be in everything.
Alan Greenberg: I will make bundles of cells ready for cloning at modest prices.
Alan Greenberg: ... will make available ...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: I prefer to work woth stemm cells Alan unless your talking more 'witchcraft then clone ;-)
Alan Greenberg: I didn't specify which kind of cells. Variaous will be available at escalating prices.
Heidi Ullrich: AIs from the ExCom have been added to the AI page: https://community.icann.org/x/m4nbAQ
Heidi Ullrich: Please refresh this page.
Heidi Ullrich: From the ExCom meeting...
Evan Leibovitch: Garth said the new form was a step backwards
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Is it just me or Compliance explanations are not really explanations - we asked questions in COsta Rica and Compliance sent their responses via email and somehow I am not satisfied.
Carlton Samuels: @Alan on Outreach funding: +1
Heidi Ullrich: @Rinalia, the questions that are asked frequently require research on their part to fully answer.
Alan Greenberg: Re compliance form - did not get it, can someone please forward?
Evan Leibovitch: This is what I hate about this task. We spend all this one-on-one, directly with the top people, yet we're still considered not to have done all we can if we don't spend one more half-hour of our lives on a survey
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: it was a LOT more than 30 mins of my life Evan but it all has effect
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: @Heidi. I completely understand Heidi. I just feel that the answer they provided is a place filler with no prospect for future addition and does not provide any enlightenment on the issue.
Evan Leibovitch: +1 to return to the informal breakfast
Evan Leibovitch: with the Board
Evan Leibovitch: It doesn't have to be breakfast. The concept of round tables and informal discussion is the key, not what is confumed at the time.
Evan Leibovitch: consumed
Gisella Gruber-White: @ Heidi - yes correct
Gisella Gruber-White: @ Heidi - I am following up with Diane
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: and Dinners work better IMO
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: @Evan - great idea.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: we look forward to the Prague opportunity then Evan
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: yes most meetings woth te Board in CR was more thsn standing room only and FEW worked as well as it could do in a larger / wider room
Heidi Ullrich: I can follow up with GAC Support
Matt Ashtiani: @evan - http://costarica43.icann.org/meetings/sanjose2012/transcript-gac-alac-13mar12-en.pdf
Evan Leibovitch: my weekend reading :-P
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: use our shared with GP Calendar wioth the ASO / RIR events
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: @alan, how can 2 chairs be confusing in a multistakeholder world? :)
Evan Leibovitch: freudian slip
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Heidi I got dropped.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Indeee OCL "do try to get oit roight" won't you I personally bent more towards Tijani's text but more comments came on even after that...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: should read {do try and het this right"
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Further to Evans current comments a LOT more work on CoI was still being done by Board in CR so the 2nd option plan would IMO work well
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: from an ALAC perspective ( well more an ALAC and wider ICANN Community perspectve)
Evan Leibovitch: @Alan: we are not trying to perfect answer. We are, by definition, advocating a role that advances the global public interest
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: most best practice for CoI is based on foundations of Disclosure rules and often VERY specific disclosure rules
Evan Leibovitch: The sub is submerging!
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Heidi, Got dropped again. ;(
Gisella Gruber-White: Dialling out to Rinalia
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: and for the RECORD I would avoid the reference to CEO "chatter" as well => but it is NOT my call
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: +1 CLO
Evan Leibovitch: I am avidly for including it... it goes directly to the sense of timeliness and urgency AND it is the reason why this is on the radar of the New York Times, Reuters, etc. Ignorting it is a GRAVE mistake
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: @Evan, not ignoring, but raising the issue as a matter of principle.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: on the contrary their qattention serves a puspose
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: one part of moving forward on this important issue
Evan Leibovitch: So how/why should we pretend that there was no catalyst for this?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: the joint ALAC GAC Statement IS where the power will be IMO
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: You had a Governance WG focusing on it even before Rod said anything!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: CoI was "ion the table" well before Rod's diatribe
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: indeed Ranalia
Alan Greenberg: Tijani breaking up badly
Evan Leibovitch: Yes, but it wasn't *until* then that the issue was widely noticed outside the ICANN bubble.
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: It means ALAC/At Large was already concerned even before the media hooha.
Carlton Samuels: @Inclusion of CEO's reference: I absolutely think Rod's speech should be mentioned
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: agree +++ @ Rinalia
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Rod always does this be3fore leaving his employers it is a tradition
Carlton Samuels: @CLO: Maybe that is the case. If we ignore that we come across as wishy-washy
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Oh I SO DO Agree woth you ++++ @ Rinalia
Carlton Samuels: It isn't the messenger, make most of the message!!
Carlton Samuels: Groundation is the objective for ALAC statement...and that statement gives us that
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: I give UP on this topic do as you will ( you will any way
Evan Leibovitch: Not too much emphasis. but not ignorance either
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: hear hear ALAN
Carlton Samuels: @Alan: This is EXACTLY how the mention is positioned!!
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Don't give up CLO! ;)
Evan Leibovitch: Can we stop talking hypotherticals? The statements being considered strike this balance
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: only on this matter
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: absolutly OCL
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: this is a OC on specific DOCS
Alan Greenberg: But hypothetical discussions have SO much more opportunity for going off tilting at windmills!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: the "statement is not addressing that well IMO
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: I wonder why Tijani sounds like he is under water.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: but as I said on this I give up do as you will
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: it has also come out form many oarts of ICANN Community in ATRT interviews..
Evan Leibovitch: we're talking in circles.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: yes - let's move on
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: and it will be for the NEW CWO to broker solutions to us with the Board
Evan Leibovitch: Nobody is saying that we focus on Rod's speech
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: HUGE change has happened
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: yup ALAN it all (often comes back to propoer Disclosure rules
Evan Leibovitch: Just saying that we ought to acknowledge it, even as we disagree with some of its points
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: ZGood luck on this one gentlement
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: The one woth the GAC has a LOT of clout though worthy of lots of work
Evan Leibovitch: Indeed. But it won't happen soon. Based on experience it won't even START until prague
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: true Evan that is the probale time base
Evan Leibovitch: I said start... it's totally possible there won't actually be a statement delivered until Toronto
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: andajor change is not to table before then any way\
Matt Ashtiani: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/ALAC+Statement+on+the+Fake+Renewal+Notices+Report+Workspace
Evan Leibovitch: "absorbed by the group" ?
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: sorry - it's Friday evening and I'm tired. ;)
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: No quadruple espressos to help either!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: I wonder IF Julie knows this
Evan Leibovitch: I can support but not lead
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: Edmon said that he would have a one on one chat with her first.
Evan Leibovitch: on the .com renewal
Rinalia Abdul Rahim: @Gisella, could you kindly confirm if Tijani is already in the IDN WG list?
Heidi Ullrich: Sala has indicated to staff some interest on the .com statement
Heidi Ullrich: She asked if there were translations of the doc.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: I read it as "all good' nd going in the right direction but it was a quick review
Heidi Ullrich: Sala wrote: . I will start disseminating so that the English Speakers can start putting thoughts together and will wait for the translations for non English speakers"...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: IO agree Alan
Heidi Ullrich: So, Alan and Carlton will lead the review of the .com and if a statement is to be developed will lead the drafting
Heidi Ullrich: ?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: IF a Statement is even rerquired
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: yes evaluation is the key word
Evan Leibovitch: we don't need GNSO to act first if we want a CCWG
Evan Leibovitch: We can request it
Evan Leibovitch: IIRC it was *us* that initiated the "applicant support" ccwg
Carlton Samuels: @Jijani on approach to curriculum development: +!
Carlton Samuels: Apologies @Tijani:
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: link?
