<div dir="ltr">Indeed, full voting.</div>
<div dir="ltr">We went through this discussion a dozen years ago about ICANN voting director.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Moreover, currently PIR Board has only voting members, except for the ISOC CEO ex-officio.<br>
<div dir="ltr">Remember that for public records it could be important to show how the ALAC Director has voted.</div>
<div dir="ltr">About the rest, I would drop completely discussions that would distract us from the main topics and avoid responding to personal attacks and other amenities. As former chair of the DNSO GA, I have witnessed how quickly this can become disruptive
and lead to irrelevance of the discussions.</div>

indeed - the DotMobi Liaison was on the DotMobi Policy Advisory Board. But IMHO Roberto's suggestion for a Liaison to the PIR Board sounds good.<br class="">

<div class="">Hi Maureen.
<div class="">I have been thinking further about this, and came to the conclusion that our proposal would be not to have a representative on the Stewardship Council but on the PIR Board.</div>
<div class="">Here is the rationale for that.</div>
<div class="">The Stewardship Council will play the role that was previously of the Advisory Council. Its purpose was to get multiple voices from different part of the user community, and in particular the NGOs, ensuring diversity of opinions. This body was
advisory to a Board that had already built-in the fundamental non-profit, user-community DNA, because it was selected by ISOC.</div>
<div class="">With the changed situation, we can safely assume that the new PIR Board will be selected by Ethos to take care of the interests of the investors, and there is no guarantee that the public interest is being taken care of.</div>
<div class="">This will be a good option for Ethos as well, because it would show in a concrete way the commitment to the public interest beyond mere verbal expression of intents. On the other hand, Ethos and the investors would keep a solid majority that will
ensure that their interests are protected.</div>
<div class="">We should remember that while the Advisory Council was surely empowered to provide advice, and was surely listened to, a Director would have access to more information and definitively better opportunities to discuss different ideas and approaches
with his/her fellow Directors, therefore presenting the point of view of the public interest more effectively.</div>
<div class="">In short, this person wold play a role that is similar to the one that León plays in ICANN: committed to the fiduciary responsibility to the corporation but able to be a strong voice to the discussion.</div>
<div class="">I think that we should not be shy, all in remaining reasonable with our proposals. I believe that this one is a win-win, bringing the voice of the user community in PIR and being a good opportunity for Ethos to show a commitment while still remaining
in control of PIR.</div>
<div class="">Cheers,</div>
<div class="">Roberto</div>

<div class="">Well that is certainly forcing our hand to take some action. But with arrows flying in all sorts of directions it has been difficult to know which one to follow, and I note there has been a break in the conversations on this topic.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Interesting and very timely that Roberto raised the .org issue again in an earlier email today. I started a response until JZ reminded us that the thread was about .com </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I agree with Roberto's approach - that we should focus on our role as the voice of At-Large end-users and offer some creative advice on how we might influence the behaviour of PIR and any future decisions they make that will impact on .org end-users.
PIR/Ethos already presented a webinar and said all the right things.. but how can we be assured that they will stick to what they said that they would do in the future? Who will monitor this on behalf of ordinary end-users? Who will be represented on the Stewardship
Council?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At the same time we may also need to advise the ICANN Board about how they might deal with the ICANN-PIR/Ethos contract - especially Roberto's recommendation of <span class="">some </span><span class="">commitment from ICANN that ethical behaviour
towards .org end-users will be built into it.</span></div>
<div class=""><span class=""><br class="">
</span></div>
<div class="">We are aware that the Board is looking into every legal issue relating to how they can deal with matters that are being raised by letters that are flowing their way. We don't need to add more of the same.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While i think it might be seen to be a simplistic approach, I believe that we should stick to what our job is and focus on advice to the Board and to PIR- but lets try to be creative about how we advise them, looking at the impacts on end-users
from all perspectives.</div>
