Topic 1
Equitable Access for all Stakeholders
ATRT2 Recommendation 10.5: The Board must facilitate the equitable participation in applicable ICANN activities, of those ICANN stakeholders who lack the financial support of industry players. The recent case of an ALAC member who could not attend this meeting due to lack of personal funding is a blatant case in point.
The opposite side to the difficulty in recruiting new active volunteers - how to ensure that those you have do not disappear due to lack of funding.
Discussion on options. This is not just a matter for the ALAC to submit special budget requests, but more one of philosophy on how to address the issue.
Topic 2
Postponement of At-Large Review
We were recently told that the At-Large review, along with other reviews would be postponed. The timing details will depend on the outcome of a public comment, but it will surely be delayed for at least a few months, perhaps more.
Discussion when it was first discussed: To say we were relieved would be an exaggeration. The perception at the time was that we were being asked to deliver what was clearly impossible if done with any modicum of quality.
WHY WERE WE WILLING TO ACCEPT IT?
Topic 3
PICs and Category 1 TLDs. The process and outcomes associated with the ALAC Advice.
(NOT a discussion of the substance of PICS for Category 1 TLDs)
