AGENDA
Welcome and Roll Call - Staff (3 minutes)
Review of the Agenda - Roberto (2 minutes)
Status of the Discussion on Criteria (10 minutes)
Should the requirement that an individual not be a member of an ALS be loosened?
to keep a strict rule (as is today) about incompatibility of being at the same time an Unaffiliated Individual and a member of an accredited ALS;
to allow people being at the same Unaffiliated Individuals and members of an accredited ALS without limitation;
to allow people being Unaffiliated Individuals only if they are not in a leadership position in an accredited ALS
- Whether individual users can join as Unaffiliated Individuals only in the region where they have their residency or that they are citizen of, or whether they can join in a different region. In case the latter option is preferred, we should also decide whether an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in one region only, or whether we allow multiple membership.
an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual only in the region where she/he is resident or is a citizen of (this is the status quo in most of the RALOs, if I understand correctly)
an individual user can choose to apply to be an Unaffiliated Individual in any region
an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in a region that is different from the region of citizenship or residence, but in this case he/she will have a special status (e.g. observer instead of full member) with limitations to be defined, related of the right of vote within the Unaffiliated Individual community of the region, or to the ability to have a leadership position in that community, or other (this is the case of EURALO, that has 60+ full members and 5 observers)
Whether an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in more than one region.

In my humble opinion, we need to maintain an online directory of UIM Members with their expertise. They may be either reactively or proactively included in works impacting the end-user segment and institutions other than ICANN. The feedback and experience may improve the policies of ICANN.
Also, my humble submission on the scope of Individual Member in ICANN is that the associated rules and regulations need to ensure that there is no "anonymity" at any level and ideally there ought to be a two way traceability from "Policy to Mechanism". The present rules seem to be fine and any exceptions may be deliberated as special cases.
Recently, an APRALO Policy Forum has been created.

I have just joined. In my humble opinion this is yet another ICANN internal discussion forum. We need Individuals to be active in field work and share experiences and formulate the policies for the futures.
