Re: [ICANN-EU] LA @large meeting preparation

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

to all:
I will try to maintain here a list of action points for the LA meeting, so all
our representatives may have a common platform - if they want to use it.
It results from my initial post and from all the inputs of this ML's Members,
as I understood/discussed them.

There are two "filters" to the action points list:

-  to stick to "brick and mortar" points. To build the Parliament building
    and conveying people to debate and to vote.
-  not to be impose any universal sleeping rule and structure by the
    ICANN. @large being a ruling part of the ICANN not a ruled one.

This list should be completed by a mathematical analysis of the votes
by Vittorio which should give us elements to demonstrate our
representativeness. New inputs will be taken into consideration as they
come.

LA action points proposed platform
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point 1.  Access to the @large people in being able to mail them on
              an European and a national basis, being understood that:

              -  we are the European and national ICANN @large group
                 they wanted to be Member of. So this is not unwanted mail

             -  we want mainly inform them of what we have already done
                and they have the right to know.

Point 2.  Election of the 4 pending ALDs by a worldwide unique
              constituency, one Director maximum per region.

Point 3.  The ICANN @large site should introduce and link every
               self constituted @large site and ML.

Point 4.  There not be universal rule to shape and organize @large
               "chapters" which may come general; regional, national,
               local, specialized, etc... Each group, site, ML will have
               its own organization.

Point 5.  ICAN will assign a focal point person handling the @large
              relations and support. In no way that interface will be 
allowed to
              impose any constraint to the @large Members unless approved
              by them.

              It will be netiquette:
              - each group will have an unique and respected interface with 
him
              - never to flame him, but to escalate troubles
              - to escalate through the group interfaces, the regional 
Director,
                the BoD.

Point 6.  A permanent polling system of the @large Members will be
              installed. Any group will be allowed to use it at will. This 
system
              will accept questions from groups and permit group members
              to vote yes/no/veto documenting their veto position. It will be
              permitted to change questions and votes to progress towards
              consensus. The groups may use this for internal decisions
              as well as to progressively escalate propositions towards a
              general consensus. This is an RFC like process extended to
              a worldwide democratic approach.

Point 7.  The PIN system should be totally reset. Every @large Member
              should receive it again in using a mailing system like the one
              used by NSI. The system should work on a yearly basis with
              automatic renewal but mandatory validation of the new PIN, so
              uninterested and deceased people are not kept on the lists.

Point 8.  The @large constituency needs a budget.
              No clear action point has been reached on this. Gupta,
              Vottorio have discussed it. The point has been risen by others.

Point 9.  The @large assembly in LA needs a chair
               No clear proposition has been made on this point.

Personal current comments :

In LA we will obviously be faced to the Japanese and Chinese
number. Hence I believe in actions now to:

-  take a lead in the coordination of the other regions. I mailed
    to the other ALD elect. I would like to host Andy M-M at the
     French Senate/Parliament and make him visiting the DNSO
     office (which is in Europe). Any press and international
     aura will help.

-  coordinate with NA. IMHO the most sensible thing would be
     that Karl Auerbach would take some lead based upon his
     experience without conflicting with people who hoped not to
     see him there.

-  build a good file (as Vittorio's computations) and keep united
    as we are on this ML.
