ALAC Metrics - Discussion
WHAT ARE METRICS AND WHY ARE WE WOKING ON METRICS?
Very basically, Metrics are measures
The ALAC Rules of Procedure Section 9 state:
Performance, Metrics and Remediation:
The ability of the ALAC to represent the interest of Internet users depends on strong participation from all ICANN regions. Furthermore, the ALAC can function effectively only if all ALAC Members and Appointees meet the obligations of their positions. Satisfactory performance is a complex concept including both objective and subjective issues and must factor the very significant personal contributions made by At-Large volunteers.Moreover, the ALAC and At-Large receive significant funding from ICANN, both for travel and other activities, and the ALAC must be able to justify such expense.
