<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Thanks for the
opportunity to clarify the issue, Mike. While Bill and I are NCUC
representatives on the Council, we certainly (as Chuck noted) do not claim to
represent individual users, except insofar as they are members of NCUC. We are
both of us, however, interested in participating - through the GNSO mechanism -
in what we believe to be a very important process for ICANN. Further, the
motion called for the GNSO to "identify user representatives ... willing
to work with the ALAC and At-Large community to develop a recommendation"
to the Board. As such, I was simply using the language of the motion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I am conscious also
of the Board's Resolution 2008-12-11-02, seeking a "recommendation on how
to incorporate the legitimate interests of individual Internet users in the
GNSO in constructive yet non-duplicative ways ..." As the NCUC is
committed to facilitating greater and broader individual inclusion, and as
it believes that this effort ought to be inclusive and effective, it seems
to me that it also makes sense for NCUC Councillors (and perhaps even
members) who have expressed an interest to be part of the effort to
develop the requisite recommendation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

that this does not mean Bill and I will only express NCUC's views, or
participate only as NCUC representatives. I do, however, believe that our
participation as GNSO individual nominees will have the added benefit of
facilitating smooth and transparent communications and
cooperation between those groups, individuals and constituencies that
have reason to be interested in the outcome of this process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
*Letter from the Chair of the ALAC to the Chair of the Board of ICANN*<br>
<br>
I write to you today in connection with ICANN Board Resolution 2008-12-11-02.<br>
<br>
Whilst the resolution asked that a recommendation on the modalities for
including Individual Internet users in the GNSO should be presented to the
board by 24^th January, the various parties have been unable to conclude work
in the timeframe provided. Considering that much of the available time between
11^th December and 24^th January was over the festive season, I'm sure you and
the other board members will understand that whilst we are working on the
question, as volunteers during a major family holiday we have had less time for
this issue than would otherwise be the case.<br>
<br>
With respect to At-Large we are also very busy with new gTLDs, the ALAC Review,
and the organisation of the At-Large Summit; the Board's request really
couldn't have come at a worse time.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless we are working on the question. I have had discussions with Avri
Doria, GNSO Council Chair, on how to convene the various interested parties and
I compliment her efforts to encourage constructive work on this question.
Unfortunately the modalities for joint work by all interested parties has in
itself proven controversial enough that no meeting of that kind has taken place
yet, it does appear that things are moving in a positive direction and that
discussions of a suitably representative nature will be forthcoming.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, At-Large has convened a regionally-balanced ad-hoc working
group and we have committed to having a considered response not later than
20^th February, irrespective of what efforts involving broader interests is
able to produce.<br>
<br>
What we can say to you at this point is the following:<br>
<br>
* At-Large and ALAC does not believe that the answer to individual<br>
Internet user participation in the GNSO requires -- or
is even<br>
well-served -- by simply inserting the At-Large
community's<br>
structures into the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group.
In fact, we<br>
believe that would be both confusing to the community
and quite<br>
counterproductive.<br>
* The concept of opening the GNSO to "users" instead of<br>
"registrants" was included in the Report of
the Working Group on<br>
GNSO Council Restructuring at the instigation of the
ALAC. We<br>
remain convinced that the GNSO must include meaningful<br>
participation for those speaking on behalf of
individual Internet<br>
users within both the commercial and non-commercial
stakeholder<br>
groups. But to be clear, our definition of
"user" includes<br>
registrants.<br>
* "meaningful participation" in this context means that
those<br>
engaged on behalf of individual Internet users must
feel that<br>
their voices are influential and effective and equal
to the voices<br>
of other groups in their Stakeholder Group. Without
this, there is<br>
no chance that new players can be drawn into the GNSO
community.<br>
* We have seen the draft NCUC petition and charter for the NCSG,<br>
held a meeting with members of the NCUC during the
ICANN Cairo<br>
meeting to discuss it and we continue to evaluate the
proposal.<br>
Without prejudice to that proposal, we believe that
the ultimate<br>
structure of the NCSG must provide a place where all
voices and<br>
views can be heard on the questions of the day, and
where the<br>
structures of the NCSG ensure that no voice is
disenfranchised and<br>
in particular that individual personalities are unable
to impose<br>
their views on others. Just as "takeover" is
an issue within ICANN<br>
as a whole, it is also an issue within a SG.<br>
<br>
Whilst I know that the above is not all that you hoped to receive from us this
month, I hope that you will find it useful and we look forward to concluding
our work on this question, as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Of course if you or your colleagues require clarification on any of the above,
I, our ALAC Executive, and the Working Group established for this topic,
remain at your service.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
(Signed on behalf the ALAC ad-hoc WG on NCSG : GNSO Improvements
Implementation)<br>
