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

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

to all icann-europe ML.

As indicated l try to maintain here a list of action points for the LA 
meetings,
so all our representatives there may share - if they wish - a common priority
platform. This list results from my initial post and from all the inputs of 
this
ML's Members, as I understood/discussed with 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 there before to debate and to vote.

-  not to be imposed any Universal Seeping Rules and Structures by the
    ICANN.   @large must be a ruling part of the ICANN, not a ruled one.

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

Jefsey

LA action points proposed common platform
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version Sunday 15/10/200

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

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

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

             -  at least 4 mails a year sent by the ICANN, so their identities
               are not disclosed.


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


Point 3.  The ICANN @large site should introduce and link every
               self-constituted @large site and MLs overthe world.


Point 4.  There should not be any universal rule to shape and organize
              @large "chapters" which could come general; regional, national,
              local, specialized, etc... Each group, site, ML will have its 
own
              organization. Only one registration procedure of the group
              should be set-up, with no filtering.


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.

              Each question will include a presentation by the authors
              permitting to present the different alternatives. Threads and
              MLs will be attached to the questions.

             The groups will be able to use this for internal decisions or
             elections as well as for progressively escalating 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 his PIN again through a serious mailing system
              like the one used by NSI.

              Registration of new @large Member should a permanent
              process. PIN renewal should be on a yearly basis and automatic.
              Validations of the yearly PIN will take care of the deceases and
              disinterests.


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.
              One suggestion is to have them self-organizing and each
              PIN holder to designate the chapter he joins. The chapters
              would have a budget from the ICANN on this basis, or
              could get their own sponsors as per common selection
              criteria.


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. The French icann-fra ML will host
    Andy M-M early November at the French Parliament, for the
    ICANN@large French group.

-  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.
