Maureen Hilyard:Understood

Heidi Ullrich:so to confirm for all: Sunday in Singapore will be voting round 2, phase 1
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:affirmative
Heidi Ullrich:Wednesday in Singapore, will be, if necessary, round 2, phase 2 (NOT phase 3)

Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Olivier!
Ariel Liang:I'm on my way on BP!
Heidi Ullrich:+1 Ariel
Heidi Ullrich:As I told Olivier, in school, I studiously avoided courses on voting methods...
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:So start on the 15?
Heidi Ullrich:@Tijani, should staff confirm the avialiabity of the elextorate for Sunday/Monday?
Maureen Hilyard:The phone call is on March 6 - can we not do if from the 12th - 17th?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:@Maureen not much time for RALOs to decide if March 12
Heidi Ullrich:Is that an AI?
Heidi Ullrich:staff confirm the avialiabity of the elextorate for Sunday/Monday?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:by March 12 - the week of March 10 - 15 will be for RALOs to discuss the candidates
Heidi Ullrich:Alan, so there is no requirement that everyone vote?
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:yes please Heidi
Heidi Ullrich:thanks, Olivier
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:voting: we need quorum that's all
Alan Greenberg:@Olivier, I have not checked, but I di not beleive that ther eis any mention of Quorum for the Board votes. If there were such a rule, it could be really problematic (time-wise) is a vote were held and it was not quorate.
Alan Greenberg:is = if
Alan Greenberg:Tijani, is that correct? Did you find any reference to quorm for the Board vote?
Maureen Hilyard:The longer we leave the travel arrangements to be organised makes it more difficult for some ALSes to get their visas to get to the UK meeting. I have had some worried APRALO ALSes wondering when this information will become available
Alan Greenberg:I'm not sure why I am involved, but I will be glad to talk
Maureen Hilyard:Are we not going to have a f2f session with the candidates in Singapore?
Maureen Hilyard:A final statement opportunity for candidates before the second round votes
Maureen Hilyard:But visas take a while to be processed.. so that date can be delayed to incorporate the meeting
Maureen Hilyard:I am just getting clarification.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Future Meeting Strategy is indeed interesting
Heidi Ullrich:There were five reps from At-Large on this WG
Heidi Ullrich:and all reached consensus
Heidi Ullrich:A graphic, Alan?
Evan Leibovitch:I hear a meeting of the BBWG taking place in the background of he call :-)
Alan Greenberg:Big Brother WG?
Evan Leibovitch:BaBy
Evan Leibovitch:Baby Ulrich chairing, baby Gruber sends regrets
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:comment close date is 20 March 2014
Gisella Gruber-White:My baby in the land of nod :-)
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Baby Maya my goddaughter
Holly Raiche:Pity about the conflict with the TOR session - which is for ALAC as well as others
Evan Leibovitch:@Holly you're right.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Meeting Strategy announcement : http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/meetings-strategy-25feb14-en.htm
Evan Leibovitch:Bottom line: if ICANN won't take its own advice in the ATRT2, the chances of other StratPanels acftually effecting real change is NIL.
Heidi Ullrich:Re the MSWG Meeting in Singapore, I've heard it will likely be a presentation of the report and a discussion of the comments received.
Heidi Ullrich:Who is to hold the pen on a statementt on the MSWG report?
Heidi Ullrich:or is it just an open call for comments?
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:open call for comments please
Evan Leibovitch:sorry, got disconnected, will dial in
Julie Hammer:Closing Date is 31March
Holly Raiche:The TORmeeting is Monday
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:CROPP RT resources showing all the requests received from NARALO, EURALO, AFRALO : https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/CROPP+RT+Resources
Evan Leibovitch:I have applied. Whether I can get there is a different issue.
Heidi Ullrich:I've heard the ballroom has a mid-room divider...
Heidi Ullrich:a random conversation with NIck T.

Alan Greenberg:To submit your name for the Sao Paulo meeting, http://content.netmundial.br/interests/expression
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Thanks Alan
Ariel Liang:Thanks Evan!
Evan Leibovitch:eh?
Maureen Hilyard:Thats a worry
Ariel Liang:For clarifying the AI
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Wow, impressive
Evan Leibovitch:Heidi: for the PAB public comment, what languages will be used for translation?
Maureen Hilyard:APRALO has a large number of Asian ALSes but it would help with their participation to be able to get more Asian languages at our APRALO meetings, at least
Maureen Hilyard:Some do not participate/contribute because although they might understand English their English is not too good, so they remain silent
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:But wouldn't translation make the work of At-Large more accessible?
Alan Greenberg:I have another call on the hour.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Would having more interpretation on calls result in more persons attending and listening and participating ?
Alan Greenberg:It certainly would make the ALAC calls more accessible to those in RALOs who do not speak English.
Heidi Ullrich:Should this be on the next ALAC call?
Maureen Hilyard:It would be great to get more participation at the ALS level - and perhaps initiating it at RALO level is the best
Heidi Ullrich:Valid point, Alan. However, should there be EN interpretation so others can ead/listen?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:in LACRALO some of the ideas to update its operating procedures to recognize portuegese as a language recognized by LACRALO
Alan Greenberg:@Heidi, yes, but that is not needed to start up...
Alan Greenberg:Or at least, not necessarily needed.
Alan Greenberg:Action item: Olivier demands Patois.
Silvia Vivanco:I will work with the RALOs, for LACRALO we have 4 PT speaking ALS
Silvia Vivanco:2 usually join in ES channel
Alan Greenberg:More important for RALO calls I would think!
Silvia Vivanco:perhaps they will become more active if we offe PT
Maureen Hilyard:I do think RALO calls be included for more translation services
Heidi Ullrich:Sunday : https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43985498
Heidi Ullrich:Wed: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43985503

Maureen Hilyard:ALAC is 5am meeting for me
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:ok with me to have adjusted times
Maureen Hilyard:Doodle would be great
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Julie - sorry !!! You as well - our Australian members :-)
Evan Leibovitch:The only thing worse than attending a 3 hour ALAC meeting ... is attending it from a moving train, moving in and out of cell range.
Holly Raiche:Can we please not have this discussion after 2 hours of the call
Maureen Hilyard:Id rather have one meeting..
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Its a worthwhile idea to consider
Julie Hammer:Good idea to discuss this in Singapore, maybe on the Sunday when liaisons are there.
