Tijani:Hi everyone
Darlene Thompson:Hi all
Wolf Ludwig:Hi everybody!
Oksana Prykhodko:Hi, everyone!
Jose Arce:Hi all
Heidi Ullrich:Hello, everyone!
Gisella Gruber-White:Jose dropped - we are dialling back to him
Jose Arce:Thanks
Wolf Ludwig:I agree on this agenda proposal!
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:6. Decisions to certify or decertify an At-Large Structure shall be made as decided by the ALAC in its Rules of Procedure, save always that any changes made to the Rules of Procedure in respect of ALS applications shall be subject to review by the RALOs and by the ICANN Board.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:7. Decisions as to whether to accredit, not to accredit, or disaccredit an At-Large Structure shall be subject to review according to procedures established by the Board.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:8. On an ongoing basis, the ALAC may also give advice as to whether a prospective At-Large Structure meets the applicable criteria and standards.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:agree with Wolf - the difficulty is the criteria and the minimum metrics
Heidi Ullrich:That is correct, Darlene
Heidi Ullrich:Sorry if I was unclear
Wolf Ludwig:Temporarily disabling ALSes from voting could be a first useful warning and step.
Darlene Thompson:DARN IT - I just had an emergency meeting come up in my normal work. It starts at 11:00 so I will need to leave a few minutes before that.
Heidi Ullrich:Shall we make that an action item?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:http://www.atlarge.icann.org/framework.htm also has more information re: certification and de-certification
Tijani:I'm dropped
Tijani:can you make Adigo call me
Gisella Gruber-White:Tijani - we are calling you again
Gisella Gruber-White:tijani is back on the call
Heidi Ullrich:Matt would be able to prepare a table which compiles the RALOs' views
Wolf Ludwig:We submitted our proposal comprising 7 steps to the SFO meeting already.
Charles Mok:I agree with Darlene on that.
Darlene Thompson:Yes, I agree with letting the ALAC know what our criteria is as a matter of politeness
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:In http://www.atlarge.icann.org/framework.htm :
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:7 . Decisions to de-certify an ALS shall require a 2/3 majority of the members of the ALAC who cast a vote as provided in the Rules of Procedure of the ALAC, and any decertification decision shall be subject to review as provided in the ICANN Bylaws, Article IV, Section 2. Reasons for the ALAC to pursue de-certification action, and to de-certify an ALS, may include persistent non-compliance with significant ALS requirements. The ALAC will provide advance notice to the ALS in question, and the ALS will have an opportunity to be heard and respond to the ALAC prior to a decision on de-certification. The ALAC will notify the ALS of its de-certification decision and provide information on requesting a review of the decision.
Wolf Ludwig:Only ALAC can decertify ALSes -- the rules and procedures are up on the RALOs -- to be approved by ALAC ...
Heidi Ullrich:Could the Sec Improvements list be updated or integrated with the At-Large Improvements?
Heidi Ullrich:correct,Dev
Heidi Ullrich:This is an activity the new Regional Manager could work with you on.
Seth Greene:Aslo, could the Secretariat, like the existing WGs, be a group to which some of the ALAC/At-Large Improvements proposals is assigned? Just a suggestion.
Wolf Ludwig:It makes sense that Secretariats improvements are part of At-Larege ... incl. timelines ....
Seth Greene:Latest version of ALAC/At-Large Improvements Milestone Report (undergoing vote at present): https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/28902780/ALAC+Improvements+Project+Milestone+Report_9+Oct+2011+%28w+staff+intro%29.pdf
