<div dir="ltr">Dear Alan, colleagues,<div>I strongly support Alan's opinion on the process(es) we observe within ICANN and implementation of RT's recommendation, and I would insist on including these statemenst in our final report.</div>
<div>See you in L.A.</div><div>Rgds,</div><div>Michael</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/8/14 Alan Greenberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca" target="_blank">alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I had hoped to have two more recommendations for your consideration, but that will not happen in time for our meeting.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, I would like to bring them p with the hope that we can discuss their merits.<br>
<br>
1. Recommend that in responding to AoC RTs, the Board must respond with clarity and precision. Despite some Board and Staff embers believing that this was done in all cases, the response to the Whois RT was viewed as cryptic and opaque b many on the RT as well as others in the community. The investment made by RTs is significant and some on the Whois RT feel that there efforts were close to wasted. This should not happen again.<br>
<br>
2. Volunteers make up a substantial part of the ICANN multi-stakeholder community. Although many are paid by their companies to participate, many do so without any compensation. The latter group are at a significant disadvantage endangering the concept of a multi EQUAL stakeholder model that has been recently advanced by our CEO. ICANN needs to take actions to ensure that all stakeholders can participate equally.<br>
