In its meeting of 27th August 2009, the ICANN Board of Directors unanimo= usly resolved as follows:
> 'IT IS RESOLVED THAT the recommendation of the BRWG to add one voti= ng director appointed from the At-Large Community to the ICANN Board of Dir= ectors, and removing the present ALAC Liaison to the Board, is approved in = principle for implementation. Staff is directed to identify all steps requi= red to achieve the implementation of this principle, after issuing of the B= RWG Final Report.'
The proposal that one or more voting Director seats on the ICANN Board s= hould be selected by the At-Large community is a recommendation of the rece= ntly-completed At-Large Independent Review process. The other recommendatio= ns in the Final Report of the Board's At-Large Review Working Group were ap= proved by the Board during their meeting at the Sydney ICANN meeting in Jun= e.
As referenced in the final part of the resolution, the next step in the = implementation of the resolution will be the presentation at the Seoul meet= ing of the full report of the BRWG (Board Review Working Group), as this el= ement of change of the Board is a part of the broader Board review process.=
In the meantime, the At-Large community's ALAC has resolved upon drawing= up a process to submit to the Structural Improvements Committee of the Boa= rd at the Seoul ICANN Meeting. This section is for development of ideas and= a draft process to that end.
At its 22 December 2009 teleconference, the ALAC charged a small group w= ith the task of creating initial this white paper to be distributed for wid= e-spread comment early in January 2010. Included in this document is a revi= ew of community discussions to date (inclusive of debate points and rationa= le for any recommendations made, a draft process timeline, specific issues = and recommendations for community review and feedback.
It should also be noted that the proposed At-Large Board Member Selectio= n process resulting from this community consensus building effort will be s= pecifically designed to best meet the needs of our community and to source = and seat the best available candidate in a timely manner and is not to be a= ssumed to be a =E2=80=98fixed for the future=E2=80=99 standard operational = procedure. Further this inaugural process will be subject to complete and r= igorous review by the At-Large Board Member Design Team (ABSdt) the At-Larg= e Board Member Committee (ABSC), At-Large and wider ICANN community both at= the completion of the selection process in 2010 and before the next appoin= tment process.
The five (5) Issues are identified in this White Paper and the following= recommendations need now to be considered by the ICANN and At-Large commun= ity to elicit discussion, comment and input into each, so that final recomm= endations to the Board of ICANN regarding our proposed At-Large Director Ap= pointment Process for use in this inaugural appointment post ALAC Review, h= as as much community support as possible.
