- No advice received from RALO for certifications; or
- Any ALAC Member requests that the vote be secret.
...
Where regional advice has been given, if any member of the ALAC requests a vote on a given applicant to be held, the question to be put shall be: "Shall the advice of the region in respect of accreditation of [name of applicant] be overturned?". The available responses to the question shall be: ‘YES', ‘NO', and ‘ABSTAIN' where only one answer may be chosen. If no member of the ALAC requests a vote to be held on such an application within a number of days after the regional advice has been given (the number of days to be as determined by the ALAC from time to time), the applicant shall be certified as an At-Large Structure by unanimous consent upon the expiry of the number of days above-referenced.
b. ALS criteria and expectations
Current - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-AdjDoc4-2013-07, page 1
Proposal: create an ad hoc review group to consult with RALOs and propose a replacement set of criteria and expectations.
- Work ongoing in RALOs, but it is an ALAC responsibility to set MINIMUM standards
- Metrics group has started some of this, and work will return to them once we set minimum expectations
- Individual members to be reviewed as well

9. ICANN 52 At-Large Meeting Schedule - Alan Greenberg and Léon Sánchez (20 minutes)
See: At-Large ICANN 52 - February 2015 Workspace
See: At-Large Schedule - 23 December 2014
10. FBSC and FY16 AC/SO Special Requests Next Steps - Alan Greenberg (15 minutes)
See: FBSC Workspace, including current compositionmembership
a. Proposal:
- For composition of the FBSC, I propose the following:
- two members per region, one from the ALAC and one a RALO leader
- the RALO leader (either the Chair, a Vice-chair or Secretariat would be the person in the RALO responsible for overseeing (and filtering) RALO request. Might consider another appointee, but only if given real authority by RALO.
- Others may participate in "non-voting role"
- For composition of the FBSC, I propose the following:
- The FBSC will make choices to ensure that what we are submitting is high quality and more likely to get accepted.
- We will set some guidelines for RALO and overall ALAC requests to try to ensure that the quality is there.
- Although past success is not an assured guideline - we will carefully review what kinds of projects are being funded (https://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/budget-requests-fy15-09may14-en.pdf and https://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/budget-requests-xlsx-fy15-09may14-en.xlsx).
- In the past, we have largely depended on RALO requests. I think that we may want to partially shift gears and also look at ALAC initiatives.
- One of these may be a request to expand the work-week, most likely the Saturday before the week, but this will take a lot more discussion.
- In the past, we have largely depended on RALO requests. I think that we may want to partially shift gears and also look at ALAC initiatives.
- Based on his past experience, I have requested that Tijani stay on the FBSC and play a lead roll.
- I will chair the SC but preferably NOT represent NARALO.
- CROPP committee to be considered.
b. FY16 AC/SO special requests - proposed pilot At-Large program for global indigenous members - Heidi Ullrich
c. Timing for FY16 AC/SO special requests - Heidi Ullrich
9. ALAC Meeting Schedule and Attendance - Alan Greenberg (15 minutes)
Options:
- One time that everyone can "accept" - no one has blackout time (midnight-06:00)
- One time that everyone can "accept" - no one has blackout time (01:00-05:00)
- Rotate the pain - middle of night meetings but they rotate
Considerations:
- First options minimize number of people who suffer
- Last option increases number who suffer, but only sometimes
