Jean-Jacques:yes Cheryl
Jean-Jacques:and Alan
CLO:kind of a Mantra for me JJS ;-)
CLO:lists tend to end with WG
Garth Bruen:it's fine
CLO:we can title the purpose as a "Work Group of the ALAC on Future Challenges" then were all sorted ;-)
Gisella Gruber-White:Sergio disconnected and we are getting no answer now
avri:well a better method with the same result would be sad.
CLO:agreed Avri but as you KNOW I'm on the record as protesting the matter on process last time ...
avri:me too if i remember correctly
CLO:on the Economist Artical I place here for the chat record an extract of some salient text "The multi-stakeholder approach dates from the beginnings of the internet. Its founding fathers believed that more openness would be both more secure and better for innovation. What is more, since the internet is a network of independent networks, it is hard to construct a form of governance that allows anyone to dictate things from the top.Until the early 2000s most governments were happy---at least in Western countries where most internet users lived. They had no problem with the network’s standards being set by such organisations as the Internet Engineering Task Force, which is open to everybody. Nor did governments balk when America in 1998 set up the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), also based on the multi-stakeholder model, to manage the internet’s core: its address system.Yet as the internet has become a global medium attitudes have changed. At the World Summit on the Informati
Jean-Jacques:Alan recognized, to speak after Avri
CLO:.... If even ICANN cannot command the respect of its stakeholders, the entire multi-stakeholder model may be in danger. That is why the American government, long an ardent defender of the model, is expected to put a lot of pressure on ICANN to change its ways when a decision is taken next year whether the group should remain in charge of running the physical infrastructure of the internet’s address system, which--as critics keep pointing out-is still controlled by the American government.Yet some experts argue that ICANN-and thus the multi-stakeholder model itself--can firmly establish itself only when it is underpinned by a proper constitution, complete with a bill of rights for stakeholders and a separate board of review (or supreme court). ICANN, they say, resembles the kings and parliaments of old whose power is coercive and unconstrained. Only if internet governance has a “constitutional moment”, declares Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, a professor at Oxford University, will it avoid becoming th
CLO:powerful nations"
CLO:last line shouod read the plaything of Powerful nations
Evan Leibovitch:The biggest difference between the treatment of GAC and ALAC in the bylaws is that GAC comments *must* receive a reply from the Boardl ALAC advice des not.
Sandra Hoferichter:I have to leave the chat now but will stay on the phone
Evan Leibovitch:In terms of mandate -- or scope of what can be commented on -- the two ACs are fairly similar
Jean-Jacques:Cheryl recognized, to speak after Alan
Jean-Jacques:Thank you Sandra for coming
Jean-Jacques:Ganesh, to speak after Cheryl
Alan Greenberg:And there will be those who will pass judgement ithout even reading the Exec Summary.
Alan Greenberg:ithout=without
Jean-Jacques:Avri recognized, I'll reply to Ganesh, then you please speak
CLO:At-Large of course has several mechanisms to bring voice to the 'discussion table" obvious one os via the ICANN Public Partiipation opportunities generally and within the SO's and the AC's
CLO:ALA as we move through to our next level of maturity needs to establish its AC role distinctly from that of At-Large and at-large
CLO:ALA = ALAC above
Jean-Jacques:EVAN PLEASE CHAIR, my call has just been dropped
CLO:agree with Avri ans that is why we do that in all we put forward
Jean-Jacques:Gisella, could you please have the operator call me again?
CLO:we need to traqin the audience we 'pitch to ( at all levels) in ICANN YUP I agree Avri

avri:when is this WG scheduled to meet in Dakar?
Evan Leibovitch:as an AI: when was ALAC advice hededed and even was ALAC advice ignored... can we try to analyse what factors would lead to acceptance?
