Quality vs quantity of ALAC advice#1

Staff, under the direction of At-Large
leadership, has already begun to
rework the website and Wiki to ensure that our “Policy Advice” pages are accurate and understandable. This will continue as volunteer and staff resources allow. We will also ensure that as documents are published, the classification of the document is clear.

Leadership Team (ALT), which is not mandated by ICANN Bylaws, concentrates in the established leadership too many decision-making and other administrative powers which should be spread among the members of the ALAC.#4

Excessive amounts of At-Large Community time spent on process and procedure at expense of ALAC’s mandated responsibilities to produce policy advice and coordinate outreach and engagement activities. Too many internal working groups are a distraction.#7

At-Large has struggled to reflect/process end-user opinion; barriers to individual participation; perception of unchanging leadership group.

#2

At-Large is increasingly focusing on
individuals (both unaffiliated At-Large
Members as well as members within
each ALS) instead of just ALS voting representatives. Four of the five
(RALOs) allow individual members and
the fifth, LACRALO, has already
approved the concept and is developing
the detailed rules. We will also use the
ALSes to communicate with those within
an ALS who may have an interest in
ICANN.
RALOs have also started to identify
experts on ICANN topics within their
ALSes and among individual members
and to increasingly engage them in
ALAC’s policy work. Thus, a bi-
directional flow of ICANN information continues to be strengthened.

These activities will require the production of information that is truly
understandable (as identified in a recent
ALAC-GAC Joint Statement) and
available in multiple languages. As some
of this will need to be created by At-
Large staff, additional resources may be
needed.
We would suggest that At-Large Staff
continue to work together with At-
Large Leadership in looking for effective
methodologies to coach and onboard
new policy volunteers and leaders to
facilitate the development of their skills
and encourage them to stay and deepen
their knowledge and expertise
Regarding the perception of unchanging
leadership, statistics reporting
involvement will be published.

While broadly popular, Global ATLAS meetings every 5 years have been difficult to organize and short on effective results. More frequent regional meetings would be more effective in encouraging both policy input and outreach while familiarizing more of At Large with workings of ICANN.
