[atlarge-discuss] FYI: Vittorios Letter in German

[Alexander Svensson <alexander@svensson.de>]

Sehr geehrtes Mitglied von icannatlarge.com,

da das Mandat des vorigen Interim-Panels ausläuft, ist es nun
an der Zeit, neue Leute zu wählen, die die Organisation in den
nächsten 12 Monaten leiten. Wir beginnen zu diesem Zweck eine
Wahl.

Die Nominierungsphase hat nun begonnen. Wenn Sie möchten,
können Sie Ihre Kandidaten für das Panel (aus den Reihen der
Mitgliedern dieser Organisationen gewählt) bis  Montag, den
22.7., Mitternacht UTC (22:00 MESZ) nominieren, indem Sie
dies an die atlarge-discuss-Mailingliste schreiben(*).

Sie erhalten später per E-Mail einen Stimmzettel mit den Namen
der Kandidaten und einer Anleitung zur Stimmabgabe. Nach dem
22.7. werden sich die Kandidaten auf unserer Website vorstellen;
Sie werden mit ihnen auf den Webforen oder der atlarge-discuss-
Mailingliste diskutieren können. Die Wahl selbst findet vom
28.7. (So) bis zum 4.8. (Sa) statt. Sie finden die vollständige
Charta für diese Wahlen unten angehängt.

Diese Wahl markiert einen wichtigen Augenblick für unsere
Organisation, da die Repräsentation der Öffentlichkeit in der
technischen Verwaltung des Internets innerhalb und außerhalb
ICANNs immer noch heftig diskutiert wird. Wir brauchen daher
die Aufmerksamkeit und Unterstützung all unserer Mitglieder.
Bitte nehmen Sie sich die Zeit, an dieser Wahl teilzunehmen.

Vielen Dank,

Vittorio Bertola
derzeitiger Vorsitzender von icannatlarge.com

>ELECTIONS OF A PANEL FOR ICANNATLARGE.COM
>
>Given the fact that the deadline for the current interim panel of
>icannatlarge.com is approaching, a new election for a longer term
>panel for the icannatlarge.com effort is now starting. 
>
>The purpose is to select a group of members that represent different
>views, cultures and geographical areas inside the At Large movement,
>have some technical and organizational skills, and are willing to
>devote a significant amount of their time to this effort in the next
>12 months. 
>
>
>MANDATE OF THE PANEL 
>
>The panel shall be composed of eleven members of the icannatlarge.com
>effort. 
>
>The mandate of the panel will be that of running the organization in
>all its aspects, including but not limited to: 
>
>1. guiding an outreach campaign so that the highest possible number of
>active users of the Internet who might want to participate in ICANN
>are informed of the effort and can register on icannatlarge.com if
>they wish, and that the membership grows to a point where it can be
>considered sufficiently representative of such users; 
>
>2. continuing the public and open discussion of Bylaws for a new At
>Large Membership organization, trying to gather consensus, consider
>all inputs, unify all efforts, and put together in the shortest
>possible amount of time one or more proposals of Bylaws to be then
>submitted and approved by a majority vote of the membership, and after
>such approval, formally incorporate the organization; 
>
>3. defending the role of the public for what related to Internet
>matters currently governed by ICANN, and guiding a discussion about
>whether and how the organization should take part to the internal
>processes ICANN will establish for public input and participation;
>
>4. managing the icannatlarge.com website, directly and/or by
>appointing webmasters;
>
>5. managing to hold the election of the next officers of the
>organization before the term of the panel expires. 
>
>The panel shall expire and conclude its work after twelve months from
>its election.
>

>OPERATIONAL DETAILS AND TIMEFRAME 
>
>All persons registering on icannatlarge.com before the end of Monday
>22 July 2002 (GMT) will be entitled to vote. All voters will receive
>their ballot by e-mail at the e-mail address they used when
>registering to icannatlarge.com.
>
>Those members who want to nominate other members or second nominations
>should post a nomination/second message in the "Second Elections"
>forum on the website or to the atlarge-discuss mailing list by the end
>of Monday 22 July 2002 (GMT). To be included in the list of the
>candidates, nominated members will have to accept the nomination by
>posting a message in the same forum, or by sending an e-mail to the
>election watchdogs or to the atlarge-discuss mailing list, before
>12:00pm (midday) of Tuesday 23 July 2002 (GMT). 
>
>Candidates will be asked to provide details for a candidate page that
>will be set up on the site after finalizing the candidate list. A
>public debate about the candidates will be hold in the atlarge-discuss
>list and in the "Second Elections" forum of the icannatlarge.com
>website until July 27.
>
>Voting will occur between Sunday 28 July and Saturday 4 August 2002
>(GMT).
>
>
>VOTING SYSTEM
>
>Each voter will receive by e-mail a ballot message, which needs to be
>completed by adding a X inside the square brackets [ ] near to the
>name of the candidates that the voter wants to be endorse, and then to
>be sent back to the originating e-mail address. More detailed
>instructions will be found in the ballot message - we recommend all
>voters to read it carefully.
>
>Each voter will be allowed to endorse up to eleven names taken from
>the list of the candidates. Voters should support all candidates that
>seem best fit to the position, so that those who seem suitable to most
>members will be chosen. Overall results will not be made visible to
>voters before the booth is closed. 
>
>The eleven candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be
>elected, provided that they have received at least 15 votes; if there
>are not eleven candidates above this threshold, the number of members
>of the panel will be reduced accordingly. 
>
>Ties (if any) will be solved by ordering names by the number of
>candidates of the same ICANN Region that received more votes than the
>tied ones (the lowest first, so to help diversity among regions), then
>the same by country. 
>
>The voting system will be kindly provided by the DNSO Secretariat - so
>the current panel wants to thank Elisabeth Porteneuve for this.
>Elections will be overviewed by the following watchdogs (whom also we
>want to thank):
>
>Bret Fausett <fausett@lextext.com>
>Walter Schmidt <walts@dorsai.org>
>Alexander Svensson <svensson@icannchannel.de>
>
>
>PANEL RULES 
>
>The panel will choose, by majority vote, a Chair, with the role of
>coordinating the discussion and the meetings. If agreement on a Chair
>cannot be reached after seven days from the election, the candidate
>that received the highest number of votes will be the Chair. 
>
>All decisions in the panel will be taken by explicit online vote on
>the panel mailing list, called by the Chair and lasting at least two
>days (unless a final result is reached before). Decisions will be
>taken by majority of the non-abstaining votes expressed, provided that
>at least five members of the panel expressed a vote. 
>
>If any of the eleven seats in the panel becomes vacant (ie because of
>resignation, lack of suitable candidates...) it will be filled by the
>first non elected candidate from the original election, provided that
>he received at least 15 votes. If no suitable candidates are available
>from the original election, and the number of remaining members in the
>panel is lower than five, a new election will be held to fill the
>vacant seat.
