S Bachollet was the designated Chair of this meeting.

Agenda Items 1&2

There were no meeting minutes and action items of previous meetings to be adopted.

Agenda Items 2&4

It was noted that both of these issues would be discussed with a broader audience of At-Large community members at the ALAC teleconference September 9th.
ALAC and RALO Elections

D Younger asked the ExCom about the recall procedures for regional ALAC representatives if they did not meet the minimum participation requirements.

The Staff noted that according to the internal rules of procedure the Chair did not necessarily needed to call for the resignation of ALAC members if the participation requirements were not met. Different opinions were held on whether the internal rules of procedure gave the Chair room for manoeuvre in this situation.

S Bachollet noted that is was not always possible for ALAC members to attend all the meetings and that maybe the internal rules of procedures needed to be changed to take this more into account.

ALAC presentation /workshop at IGF

The Staff noted that he did not know about the status of the planned workshop at the IGF in Hyderabad because this now fell under the purview of ICANN’s Global Partnerships department.

Situation of the current working groups

S Bachollet asked Staff for an update on the working groups. He noted that there was not enough coordination among and introduction to the different working groups.

Staff noted that there needed to be more coordination between the ALAC, the At-Large working groups and the GNSO working groups.

D Younger said that there were usually no timelines, terms of reference or chairs for the working groups at the moment. Further, he noted that it was important that working group members received an official invitation outlining all the above before they join a working group.

Status of At-Large Summit preparations

The Staff noted that he was working on a “space-allocation” plan that he could submit to the Summit working group for consideration.

S Bachollet noted that there should be an opportunity in Cairo for the summit WG membes to meet in Cairo and to have a conference call before the end of September.

Cairo meeting preparation (where are we with the agenda?)

The Staff noted that it was proposed to have a trans-silo meeting on Monday during the Cairo meeting and that this would have an influence on the ability to have other cross-constituency meetings. There will be an all day ALAC meeting on Sunday. The two topics that are tentatively scheduled on the agenda for the trans-silo meeting: a Registrants’ bill of right and a Code of practice for registrars

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on Wednesday 24 September at 1300 UTC.
