Oksana Prykhodko:great
Oksana Prykhodko:i am in the call
Evan Leibovitch:I wish to be on the record advancing that the Strategic Plan is a complete sham and that our participation in it is a total waste of time. What is the point of spending a single person-minute on the SP if ICANN routinely ignores it at execution time?
Evan Leibovitch:Existing Strategic Plans would do quite fine and don't need to be refreshed. A lack of will to execute the plan -- regardless of how it is crafted -- make the whole SP creation process moot.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:http://www.atlarge.icann.org/summit-en.htm
Evan Leibovitch:As I am on another call and multi-tasking here, I would appreciat if someone could read this PoV into the record at the first appropriate moment

Sergio Salinas Porto 2:good idea
Evan Leibovitch:has my comment been read into the record?
Heidi Ullrich:Staff will be sending the At-Large wiki worspace on the Strategic Plan to the regions
Evan Leibovitch:i'm here and can say it mysrelf :-)

CLO 2:Tijani OK
Evan Leibovitch:Sergio: the current vote is to approve the three NomCom candidates who have been out forward for NA, EU and AF regions
CLO 2:I was going to start typing via skype woth you
Carlton Samuels:@Eduardo: That was a non-binding preference by LACRALO. It is the ALAC that nominates eventually
Sandra Hoferichter:I am back in the call
Marilyn Vernon:Sergio, the operator is dialing out to you now
Eduardo Diaz:@Carlton: thanks for the clarification
Sergio Salinas Porto:back one
Evan Leibovitch:Sergio: we will do the other regions next. This is just for the three regions where only one name has been put forward
Sandra Hoferichter:I was out of the calll and missed the item
Ron Sherwood:Please can I receive a new dial out? The call was dropped. Thanks
Sandra Hoferichter:yes
CLO 2:We seem to have lots of issues with the lines today
Sandra Hoferichter:aftet the call
Matt Ashtiani:I believe it has already passed: Agree: OCL, Carlton, CLO, D. Kissoondoyal, Leibovitch, Gareth, Sylvia, Tijani, Edmon, Sandra
Carlton Samuels:Any ALAC member may ask for another vote. But the entire mebership has the right to vote on that also!
Evan Leibovitch:@Sergio: What is your opposition to Yrjo, Mohammed and Glenn?
Carlton Samuels:@Dave Kiss...need to put down your hand!
Dave Kissoondoyal:I propose that we do an anonymous poll for the remaining regions
Carlton Samuels:@Dave Kissoon: please...
Carlton Samuels:OK done
Dave Kissoondoyal:@Carlton - Thanks
CLO 2:REGIONS do not choose ALAC does Regions can poout forward names that is all we ALAC has choosen outside of such lisy=ts before and we can again
Sergio Salinas Porto:sorry, I was wrong
Carlton Samuels:@Tijani: The vote will be recorded, just not the detail of the vote
Dave Kissoondoyal:I am in favour for secret vote as well
Dave Kissoondoyal:the vote will be recorded but with no mention of the members who have voted to any specific candidates
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: +1. Support the need for people with deep experience in ICANN matters!!
CLO:Yes indeed!
Evan Leibovitch:@alan: IMO a mix of necomers and "old timers" is called for.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Agree with Alan
Tijani:fully agree
CLO:and we also MUST consider the criteria
Carlton Samuels:The NomCom is probably the most imporant place where experience is a real plus!
Evan Leibovitch:Too many newcomers and there is no continuity. Too many insiders makes the focus too narrow
CLO:I personally think a BP vote for next 48-72 hrs is onky way to go on this
Carlton Samuels:@CLO: Yes, call the BP vote
sylvia herlein:agree with sergio
Alan Greenberg:I beleive that the ALAC rules of Procedure REQUIRE a secret vote on issues related to people.
Eduardo Diaz:What is consider experience in ICANN ?
CLO:Yes unless we have consensus and we go to vote as I said in my intro it must be such a CLOSED VOTE
Dave Kissoondoyal:Disgree with Sergio
Carlton Samuels:@Segio: Sergio is incorrect!
Carlton Samuels:the ALAC RoP does NOT say so!!
Jean-Jacques:CLO, absolutely !
Dave Kissoondoyal:100% clear CLO
Evan Leibovitch:I am trying to track down the RoP document
sylvia herlein:Ok about the secret vote, but what about the preference of LACRALO members about the especific candidate?
Marilyn Vernon:ALL: friendly reminder that the interpreters have a hard stop in 5 minutes.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks
Evan Leibovitch:Got it: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2262672/AL-2007-1-1-Rev11+ALAC+Internal+Rules+of+Procedure+-+EN+.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1287527930000
Sergio Salinas Porto:ok, only was just a suggestion
Evan Leibovitch:10.2: All voting in elections will be CONFIDENTIAL
Evan Leibovitch:It's not a matter of agreement.
Evan Leibovitch:There is nothing to agree to
sylvia herlein:50,8% is already a preference of LACRALO
Carlton Samuels:@CLO: Yes, it is noted!
Evan Leibovitch:Next on the agenda: agreement that the earth revolves around the sun
CLO:we know the RALO preferences for AP an LAC
Carlton Samuels:@Evan..and if there is another idea, I will be the one to mumble "yet still it moves"...
CLO:and we will transmit names as soon as quorate ? or at the end of the 48 hrs??
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:48h
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:This is to make sure all votes are accounted for
Evan Leibovitch:Also consider that the ALAC Executive Coimmittee has also considered the names submitted and itself has come to other conclusions and other recommendations in the case of the LA and AP regions.
Sergio Salinas Porto:im out call me pleasse
Jean-Jacques:lost the line too
sylvia herlein:PLEASE SEND ME THE ENGLISH CHANNEL CODE
Evan Leibovitch:1638
Marilyn Vernon:1638#
Ron Sherwood:No telephone contact Bye evereyone.
sylvia herlein:TKS
Jean-Jacques:OCL, is the meeting still on? My line has been dropped.
Carlton Samuels:Somthing happening on Adigo!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:yes the meeting is still
Sandra Hoferichter:no voice?
Alan Greenberg::-)
Heidi Ullrich:apologies, everyone
Dave Kissoondoyal:Sorry i need to go
Dave Kissoondoyal:Bye to all
Sandra Hoferichter:back
Seth Greene:Yes, Jean-Jacques, it is still on.
Eduardo Diaz:I understand that ALAC has the final saying on who goes to the NomCom and other positions but if ALAC selects somebody different from what the RALO is suggesting is going to send a sour message back to those that voted in the region. Just for my curiosity: Has it happened before that ALAC selected a different person than the one preferred by the RALO?
Jean-Jacques:thanks Seth. I've asked Marilyn to have the operator call me again (5th time today)
sylvia herlein:agree with eduardo
Sergio Salinas Porto:agree fwhit eduardo too
Jean-Jacques:ah, got my ears back.
CLO:and @Edwrdo that is why when we do it and we have before we do so for good reason and not lightly considered
Carlton Samuels:@Eduardo: Yes, ALAC has in fact done it before
Evan Leibovitch:The quick answer is: yes, that has happened in the past. That is why this is an ALAC appointment and not a RALO one.
Ron Sherwood:I asked the operator for a different trunk line, and she called back with a clear connection
Jean-Jacques:connection: same here, thanks.
Carlton Samuels:But just so we rememebr, ALAC consists of 5 'independent' members plus 10 'regional' appointments.
Carlton Samuels:the ALAC as a group is NOT bound to accept the ideas of any one region, member, or group
Eduardo Diaz:Then there is something broken in the process. The RALOs should just nominate their people and then send them to ALAC for its final selection. Otherwise, we are sending the wrong signal to the RALOs.
Alan Greenberg:I am not completely sure that the ALAC has rejected RALO preference. But there was a case where a RALO could not come to consensus on a selection and in that case, both names went to the ALAC for discussion. In that case, the RALO did present to the ALAC the pros and cons on the candidates to allow the ALAC members to make the decision.
Carlton Samuels:@Eduardo: this IS the process! Just that some of our members are mistaken that a recommendation means an instruction!
Jean-Jacques:Carlton +1
Alan Greenberg:When I said the RALO could not come to aconsensus, I mean just that. There WAS a prefernce identified, but it was far from unanimous.
Sandra Hoferichter:droped again, but have to leave now anyway by by and hear you soon!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:ok
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks
Jean-Jacques:Same here Tijani, although I'm in France.
Jean-Jacques:Tijani +1
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I note that LACRALO calls have had similiar problems with dropped communication with translation not hearing each other
Ron Sherwood:I am on a U.S. trunk line and the quality problems are the same
Eduardo Diaz:@Carlton : That is my point. RALOs are voting on something that at the end may or may no have any final consequence going forward.
Jean-Jacques:OCL, I suggest our Chair report to the Chair and CEO of ICANN that these connection problems are of particular concern to ALAC which, by its nature, is highly distributed geographically.
Carlton Samuels:@Alan re JAS Staff support: +1
Carlton Samuels:There was always a concern that JAS was destined to fail by some interests
Jean-Jacques:OCL, see my remark above please?
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks Jean Jacques
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Let's make it an Actio Item
Evan Leibovitch:It's unfortunately that asking Kurt directly for additioonal staff support in Singapore did not succeed and this escalation was required. But I happy that eventually Rod came through.
Jean-Jacques:sure.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Matt -> please action Item for me to report to Chair & CEO of ICANN re: connection problems being of particular concern to ALAC whic, byits nature, is highly distributed geographically
Carlton Samuels:@Eduardo: You're correct. And the way to avoid ths is to have a consensus BEFORE we report. However I now understand that the conccept of 'concensus' for LACRALO is a majority vote, no matter how fundamentally flawed the question we are answering!
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:lol
Jean-Jacques:ALAC = At Large Amusement Conference ?
Evan Leibovitch:This medicine is niiiiice......
Ron Sherwood:We've been hacked
Jean-Jacques:This wiki is leaking...
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:LOL
Evan Leibovitch:So is Sophia
Heidi Ullrich:Sorry, everyone. Sophia had just picked a flower which I thought was very impressive!
Marilyn Vernon:awe :-)
Marilyn Vernon:we had fun listening in
Jean-Jacques:Heidi, joy!
Alan Greenberg:Flowers are important!
Seth Greene:Olivier, I believe Heidi will be back in full for the scheduling of the Dakar meetings.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks
Heidi Ullrich:yes, I will be back 1 Sept
Carlton Samuels:@Alan: as CLO says, SNAFU!
Carlton Samuels::D
Carlton Samuels:@OCL: My time on the Ex-Com call will be very short
CLO:were not dong ExCom straight after this but at 2000 UTC on your Thur
Matt Ashtiani:hi all, i have no idea why you cannot hear me so i will type my response regarding travel to dakar. in essence, i said that i expect CT to launch very shortly - within a week or so.
Carlton Samuels:@CLO: Thanks, I migh've been looking at an old mail then
Jean-Jacques:where has he gone (former Chair) ?
Eduardo Diaz:Need to go. Bye every one.
Carlton Samuels:@JJS: Exec Chair of Mind + Machines
CLO:Minds and Machines CEO
Jean-Jacques:oh.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Have to go. Take care all
Matt Ashtiani:be safe dev!
CLO:This is the matter I was refering to in my AOB from ccNSO call
