Members

and

Liaisons

1.0
...
Nominees
...
for
...
membership
...
in
...
the
...
At-Large
...
Advisory
...
Committee,
...
as
...
well
...
as
...
those
...
seeking
...
a
...
position
...
as
...
an
...
ALAC
...
Liaison,
...
should
...
be
...
accomplished
...
persons
...
of
...
integrity,
...
objectivity,
...
sound
...
judgment
...
and
...
intelligence
...
who
...
have:
...
1.1
...
A
...
commitment
...
to
...
ICANN's
...
mission
...
and
...
its
...
core
...
values
...
as
...
expressed
...
in
...
the
...
ICANN
...
Bylaws;
1.2
...
An
...
understanding
...
of
...
the
...
potential
...
impact
...
of
...
ICANN
...
decisions
...
on
...
the
...
global
...
Internet-using
...
community,
...
and
...
the
...
Internet
...
end-user
...
community
...
in
...
particular.
1.3
...
An
...
understanding
...
of
...
the
...
Domain
...
Name
...
System
...
(DNS)
...
and
...
the
...
basics
...
of
...
IP
...
addressing.
...
This
...
is
...
not
...
to
...
say
...
that
...
candidates
...
should
...
be
...
technical
...
DNS
...
experts,
...
but
...
a
...
minimal
...
understanding
...
of
...
the
...
DNS
...
is
...
needed
...
to
...
effectively
...
function
...
on
...
the
...
ALAC.
...
For
...
example,
...
candidates
...
for
...
the
...
ALAC
...
should
...
know
...
the
...
answer
...
to
...
a
...
question
...
such
...
as
...
"Do
...
you
...
know
...
what
...
happens
...
in
...
the
...
DNS
...
when
...
you
...
send
...
an
...
email,
...
or
...
access
...
a
...
webpage?"
...
This
...
requires
...
an
...
understanding
...
of
...
the
...
general
...
process
...
of
...
name
...
resolution.
1.4
...
Demonstrated
...
capacity
...
for
...
thoughtful
...
group
...
decision-making
...
and
...
sound
...
judgment,
...
and
...
a
...
track
...
record
...
of
...
working
...
to
...
build
...
consensus
...
with
...
a
...
diverse
...
set
...
of
...
interests
...

...
together
...

...
complex

Internet

end-users
...
of

the

in

ICANN’s

processes.

a
...
result,
...
candidates
...
for
...
ALAC
...
membership
...
or
...
a

liaison

post

should

have

a

demonstrated

capacity

to

represent

the

views

of

...
2.3
...
My
...
inclination
...
is
...
to
...
remove
...
the
...
second
...
phrase.
...
It
...
almost
...
gives
...
people
...
permission
...
to
...
miss
...
1/3,
...
and
...
that
...
is
...
not
...
the
...
message
...
that
...
we
...
wish
...
to
...
send.
...
We
...
can
...
still
...
flag
...
people
...
in
...
the
...
reports
...
who
...
exceed
...
some
...
threshold.
...
2.4
...
I
...
would
...
replace
...
“is
...
expected
...
to”
...
with
...
“will
...
typically”.
...
Also
...
I
...
question
...
whether
...
we
...
have
...
enough
...
ongoing
...
WG
...
to
...
have
...
everyone
...
do
...
this.
...
I
...
guess
...
I
...
would
...
prefer
...
a
...
more
...
general
...
statement
...
about
...
working
...
on
...
ALAC
...
and
...
other
...
ICANN
...
WG
...
and
...
taking
...
a
...
lead
...
position
...
in
...
at
...
least
...
one.
...
But
...
since
...
"being
...
a
...
WG
...
member"
...
often
...
is
...
nothing
...
more
...
than
...
subscribing
...
to
...
a
...
mailing
...
list,
...
we
...
need
...
to
...
have
...
some
...
words
...
that
...
imply
...
real
...
participation.
...
2.5
...
Again,
...
I
...
would
...
remove
...
the
...
explicit
...
target.
...
2.7
...
I
...
would
...
say
...
"ALAC
...
and
...
At-Large
...
mailing
...
lists".
...
2.8
...
I
...
would
...
suggest
...
that
...
for
...
NomCom
...
appointed
...
ALAC
...
members,
...
the
...
RALO
...
activities
...
are
...
optional
...
but
...
highly
...
recommended.

Comments from Evan Leibovitch
I agree with Alan's
...
comments
...
about
...
removing
...
explicit
...
measurement-based
...
performance
...
targets;
...
that
...
is
...
not
...
the
...
point
...
of
...
this
...
document.
...
I
...
disagree
...
strongly
...
with
...
Alan
...
on
...
2.4
...
and
...
2.8
...
and
...
request
...
the
...
original
...
wording
...
be
...
maintained
...
as-is.
...
- On
...
- 2.4:
...
- there
...
- is
...
- plenty
...
- of
...
- work
...
- for
...
- WGs
...
- to
...
- do...
...
- arguably
...
- an
...
- ExecComm
...
- wouldn't
...
- need
...
- to
...
- exist
...
- if
...
- administrative
...
- working
...
- groups
...
- did
...
- their
...
- jobs
...
- adequately.
...
- Likewise
...
- there
...
- is
...
- plenty
...
- of
...
- policy
...
- work
...
- that
...
- doesn't
...
- get
...
- done
...
- because
...
- we
...
- don't
...
- have
...
- working
...
- groups
...
- to
...
- follow
...
- the
...
- issues.
...
- We
...
- need
...
- ALAC
...
- to
...
- maintain
...
- the
...
- momentum
...
- created
...
- at
...
- the
...
- Summit
...
- and
...
- the
...
- original
...
- wording
...
- of
...
- 2.4
...
- does
...
- that.
...
- In
...
- fact,
...
- given
...
- the
...
- choice
...
- I
...
- would
...
- strengthen,
...
- so
...
- that
...
- each
...
- ALAC
...
- member
...
- is
...
- assigned
...
- to
...
- report
...
- to
...
- ALAC
...
- meetings
...
- on
...
- the
...
- activities
...
- of
...
- a
...
- designated
...
- liaison
...
- or
...
- working
...
- group.
- On 2.8:
...
- A
...
- NomComm
...
- ALAC
...
- appointee
...
- may
...
- not
...
- be
...
- accountable
...
- to
...
- their
...
- region
...
- but
...
- they
...
- should
...
- be
...
- expected
...
- to
...
- be
...
- aware
...
- of
...
- their
...
- region's
...
- concerns
...
- and
...
- priorities.
...
- It
...
- is
...
- reasonable
...
- to
...
- demand
...
- their
...
- presence
...
- at
...
- RALO
...
- meetings.

Section 1.
...
Suggest
...
moving
...
1.5
...
to
...
the
...
first
...
entry:
...
ALAC's
...
first
...
commitment
...
is
...
to
...
the
...
individual
...
Internet
...
user.
...
Core
...
duty
...
of
...
ALAC
...
should
...
be
...
to
...
ensure
...
that
...
individual
...
Internet
...
users
...
have
...
a
...
voice
...
in
...
ICANN.
...
We
...
should
...
be
...
making
...
effort
...
or
...
ensure
...
the
...
ALS/RALO
...
model
...
functions,
...
that
...
individual
...
users
...
are
...
informed
...
of
...
ICANN
...
activities
...
and
...
have
...
opportunity
...
to
...
contribute
...
to
...
those
...
activities.
...
Section
...
2,
...
time
...
commitment:
...
general
...
comment:
...
At
...
a
...
rough
...
estimate,
...
the
...
total
...
time
...
commitment
...
suggested
...
is
...
about
...
70
...
working
...
days
...
each
...
year
...
(at
...
8
...
hours/day:
...
25
...
hours/month,
...
plus
...
an
...
additional
...
10
...
hours/month
...
highly
...
likely,
...
plus
...
3
...
meetings
...
which
...
including
...
travel
...
will
...
average
...
at
...
around
...
8-9
...
days
...
...
...
not
...
counting
...
any
...
recovery
...
time
...
for
...
jet
...
lag,
...
and
...
not
...
including
...
any
...
regional
...
meetings,
...
etc).
...
First,
...
this
...
is
...
too
...
much
...
for
...
any
...
voluntary
...
position.
...
Second,
...
if
...
this
...
is
...
what
...
an
...
ALAC
...
member
...
needs
...
to
...
do
...
then
...
the
...
model
...
of
...
individual/ALS/RALO/ALAC/ICANN
...
Community
...
has
...
failed.
...
We
...
are
...
not
...
the
...
representatives
...
of
...
1.5
...
billion
...
people...
...
we
...
attempt
...
to
...
ensure
...
that
...
the
...
views
...
of
...
individual
...
Internet
...
users
...
as
...
expressed
...
through
...
the
...
ALS/RALO
...
structure
...
are
...
represented
...
in
...
ICANN.

with

2.0

(other

2.4,

I

think

we

need

to

indicated

some
...
performance
...
measure,
...
but
...
perhaps
...
the

actual

%
...
can
...
be

in
...
a

separate

document.
...
2.5,

suggest
...
change
...
the

first

sentence

to

"Vote

...
Agree
...
with

Evan.

I

joined

as

a

NomCom
...
appointee
...
with

the

expectation

I

would

participate

Agree with Alan on most comments. WRT 2.8,
...
it
...
is
...
indeed
...
nice
...
if
...
the
...
nomcom-selected
...
members
...
participates
...
in
...
the
...
RALO,
...
but
...
that
...
should
...
not
...
be
...
compulsory.
...
Agree
...
with
...
Alan
...
on
...
the
...
need
...
to
...
inform
...
on
...
the
...
schedule
...
of
...
teleconference,
...
but
...
would
...
suggest
...
to
...
spell
...
out
...
explicitly
...
that
...
it
...
is
...
at
...
14UTC
...
every
...
last
...
Tuesday
...
of
...
the
...
month.
...
This
...
could
...
be
...
problematic
...
for
...
some
...
people
...
if
...
they
...
find
...
out
...
too
...
late.
...
Agree
...
with
...
Adam
...
that
...
we
...
do
...
not
...
represent
...
1.5bn
...
people.
...
This
...
is
...
either
...
arrogant
...
or
...
naive,
...
depending
...
on
...
one's
...
view.
...
Agree
...
with
...
Adam
...
on
...
expected
...
time
...
commitments
...
and
...
that
...
we
...
should
...
move
...
KPIs
...
to

another

document.

2.5
...
Voting
...
regularly
...
in

ballots
...
is
...
only
...
for
...
ALAC
...
members,
...
not
...
for
...
the
...
board
...
liaison.
...
We
...
might
...
want
...
to
...
state
...
it
...
explicitly.
...
I
...
would
...
add
...
a
...
2.10
...
bullet
...
about
...
advocating
...
At-large
...
positions
...
in
...
other
...
fora.
...
The
...
current
...
description
...
is
...
entirely
...
ALAC-centric.
...
We
...
need
...
people
...
who
...
talk
...
about
...
At-Large
...
also
...
outside
...
the
...
ICANN
...
environment.
...
This
...
is
...
another
...
way
...
to
...
recruit.

I agree with Evan's
...
perspective
...
right
...
down
...
the
...
line.
...
I
...
take
...
Adam's
...
perspective
...
that
...
expectation
...
of
...
a
...
70
...
day/year
...
voluntary
...
commitment
...
could
...
be
...
problematic
...
and
...
needs
...
revision.
...
In
...
fact,
...
if
...
one
...
calculated
...
and
...
quantified
...
the
...
time
...
to
...
read
...
and
...
understand
...
documents
...
so
...
you
...
can
...
make
...
sensible
...
interventions
...
in
...
his
...
projections,
...
that
...
number
...
could
...
easily
...
double
...
!
...
If
...
you
...
work
...
at
...
a
...
FT
...
job
...
that
...
is
...
a
...
helluva
...
lot
...
of
...
volunteering
...
to
...
do.
...
Vacation
...
days
...
are
...
almost
...
always
...
invested
...
as
...
common
...
public
...
goods;
...
I
...
know
...
because
...
I
...
have
...
to
...
use
...
my
...
vacation
...
days
...
to
...
attend
...
ICANN
...
meetings.
...
I
...
have
...
always
...
believe
...
that
...
the
...
way
...
to
...
address
...
the
...
time
...
commitment
...
is
...
to
...
cherry-pick
...
our
...
issues
...
and
...
battles.
...
AG:
...
Agree
...
with
...
last
...
sentence
...
but
...
not
...
part
...
of
...
PD
...
Labeling
...
is
...
important
...
to
...
selling.
...
So
...
while
...
I
...
understand
...
the
...
instinct
...
to
...
label
...
ALAC
...
as
...
representing
...
1.5Bn
...
Internet
...
users,
...
I
...
agree
...
with
...
Patrick
...
that
...
taking
...
this
...
seriously
...
could
...
be
...
construed
...
as
...
arrogant
...
or
...
naive,
...
depending.

Some additional thoughts.
1.5
...
I
...
agree
...
with
...
Adam
...
that
...
this
...
should
...
be
...
moved
...
up.
...
Although
...
the
...
wording
...
does
...
not
...
say
...
that
...
we
...
represent
...
1.5
...
billion
...
users
...
(as
...
suggested
...
in
...
Patrick's
...
comments),
...
but
...
rather
...
that
...
we
...
represent
...
their
...
interest
...
-
...
,
...
I
...
agree
...
that
...
the
...
statement
...
is
...
a
...
bit
...
much.
...
I
...
would
...
certainly
...
omit
...
the
...
number:
...
it
...
is
...
time
...
sensitive,
...
and
...
the
...
accuracy
...
of
...
it
...
at
...
any
...
point
...
in
...
time
...
is
...
actually
...
highly
...
questionable.
...
-
...
Section
...
2
...
workload.
...
I
...
agree
...
that
...
when
...
you
...
add
...
up
...
the
...
numbers,
...
it
...
is
...
too
...
large,
...
but
...
We
...
do
...
need
...
to
...
put
...
-
...
something
...
-
...
there.
...
What?
...
I
...
note
...
that
...
in
...
the
...
current
...
NomCom
...
documentation,
...
it
...
gives
...
18
...
hours
...
per
...
month
...
with
...
more
...
for
...
those
...
who
...
are
...
Liaisons
...
and
...
this
...
is
...
clearly
...
excluding
...
the
...
3
...
ICANN
...
meetings.
...
For
...
another
...
slant
...
on
...
it,
...
the
...
current
...
NomCom
...
specs
...
for
...
the
...
GNSO
...
say:-The
...
basic
...
responsibilities
...
of
...
a
...
GNSO
...
Council
...
member
...
involve
...
a
...
minimum
...
of
...
20
...
hours
...
per
...
month
...
on
...
Council
...
related
...
activities,
...
with
...
those
...
chairing
...
or
...
participating
...
in
...
committees
...
or
...
task
...
forces
...
spending
...
up
...
to
...
60
...
hours
...
a
...
month
...
or
...
more.
...
Depending
...
on
...
work
...
load,
...
for
...
example
...
during
...
the
...
weeks
...
before
...
the
...
3
...
face
...
to
...
face
...
meeting,
...
this
...
can
...
sometimes
...
escalate
...
to
...
as
...
much
...
as
...
20
...
hours
...
per
...
week
...
or
...
more.
...
The
...
commitment
...
for
...
the
...
3
...
face
...
to
...
face
...
meetings
...
generally
...
run
...
about
...
7
...
days
...
with
...
council
...
members
...
having
...
sometimes
...
extensive
...
responsibilities
...
on
...
most
...
days.
...
For
...
those
...
involved
...
in
...
Task
...
forces
...
or
...
Working
...
Groups,
...
there
...
may
...
occasionally
...
be
...
additional
...
face
...
to
...
face
...
interim
...
meetings.
...
Regarding
...
the
...
timing
...
of
...
meetings,
...
I
...
agree
...
with
...
Patrick
...
that
...
putting
...
this
...
somewhere
...
would
...
be
...
useful.
...
Not
...
sure
...
it
...
belongs
...
in
...
the
...
JD,
...
and
...
perhaps
...
it
...
needs
...
to
...
be
...
either
...
floating
...
or
...
decided
...
upon
...
each
...
year
...
depending
...
on
...
the
...
specifics
...
of
...
the
...
participants.
...
2.4
...
(lead
...
WGs)
...
I
...
still
...
feel
...
that
...
we
...
would
...
be
...
better
...
off
...
here
...
using
...
less
...
specific
...
terms
...
and
...
sending
...
the
...
message
...
that
...
we
...
expect
...
work.
...
Regarding
...
Evan's
...
comment
...
about
...
administrative
...
WGs.
...
This
...
might
...
be
...
correct,
...
but
...
the
...
current
...
2.4
...
only
...
talks
...
about
...
Policy
...
WG
...
in
...
my
...
mind,
...
it
...
should
...
be
...
expanded.
...
But
...
at
...
a
...
higher
...
level,
...
not
...
everyone
...
is
...
a
...
leader
...
and
...
we
...
are
...
looking
...
for
...
productivity,
...
not
...
just
...
the
...
number
...
of
...
WGs
...
we
...
have.

I

agree

with

Adam's

wording

on

voting.

2.8

(NomCom
...
appointees
...
working

with

their

RALO).

I

can

accept

either

version.
...
Having
...
served
...
on
...
the
...
NomCom,
...
Adam's
...
comment

is

interesting

(that
...
he
...
expected
...
to
...
have
...
to
...
participate
...
in

RALO
...
activities).
...
A
...
quick
...
question
...
to
...
the
...
current
...
NomCom
...
chair
...
about
...
whether
...
she
...
thinks
...
it
...
is
...
reasonable
...
might
...
reinforce
...
one
...
position
...
or
...
the

other.

2.10

(Patrick's
...
suggestion
...
that
...
all

ALAC

...
must
...
be

At-Large
...
advocates).
...
I
...
guess
...
I
...
don't
...
really
...
agree.
...
Some
...
people
...
are
...
good
...
at
...
this
...
and
...
feel
...
comfortable,
...
others
...
not.
...
I
...
don't
...
think
...
that
...
we
...
should
...
list
...
this
...
as
...
a
...
responsibility
...
but
...
perhaps
...
a
...
useful
...
attribute.

I strongly agree with Evan's
...
comment
...
specially
...
in
...
relation
...
with
...
job
...
and
...
obligations
...
of
...
Nom
...
Comm
...
appointees.
...
measurements
...
based
...
targets
...
must
...
be
...
removed,
...
in
...
my
...
opinion
...
is
...
useless
...
how
...
have
...
being
...
expresssed.
...
Also
...
I
...
think
...
we
...
represent
...
the
...
end
...
users
...
interests,
...
not
...
1.5
...
Bn.
...
people.
...
And
...
finally
...
I
...
disagree
...
with
...
the
...
existence
...
of
...
Ex
...
Com
...
(I
...
ratified
...
my
...
position
...
that
...
I
...
have
...
already
...
expressed
...
repeatedly
...
times).
...
At
...
this
...
point
...
we
...
need
...
to
...
find
...
another
...
way
...
to
...
administrate
...
ALAC,
...
and
...
not
...
with
...
an
...
"the
...
facto"
...
body.

...
Not

in

I am basically in agreement with Evan's
...
position,
...
although
...
I
...
also
...
agree
...
with
...
Adam's
...
and
...
Carleton's
...
comments
...
about
...
work
...
load
...
and
...
the
...
need
...
to
...
"cherry
...
pick"

Someone said "I agree with Evan's comments right down the line." on Aug 10 at 4:31 pm.
Can that someone please say who they are?

I think it should be a requirement for board liaison candidacy that the candidate be an active member of ALAC, whether non comm appointed or not. AG: Part of Requirements, not PD.
Also the language in here pertaining to the appropriate representation of ALAC opinions is not strong enough. The board liaison position is not an opportunity for somebody to get access to the board in order to put forward his or her personal views about ICANN policy matters.
