<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>Thank you for your thoughtful and
informative comments. Mikey is right when he says “don’t worry, we
all went through this…”. All of the old-timers as well as
newcomers have experienced feeling this huge chasm of lack of information and
fear of speaking up for perhaps sounding foolish… And you are correct to
a certain extent that there is some merit in ‘growing’ in ICANN through
putting in the years, but with the maturing organization we have today, with all
the newcomers, we simply don’t have enough mentors to do the job
effectively. So now is a good time to address this issue and I believe that the
‘tool kit’ that we – and staff – have been talking
about for what feels like a long time is within our grasp.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>An organization can only function effectively
when all members are versed in the distinct language of the organization, in my
view.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>The other issue that you touched on made
me aware that it seems to be a recurring one amongst all of the volunteers of
ICANN and that is our mutual attraction to the great experiment of the
multi-stakeholder model. For my part, that is one of the most exciting parts
of ICANN and what has kept me in this community for some 13 years or so. It is
obviously the same for you, someone more new to the community. So maybe you
have identified ‘the glue’ that brings this disparate community
together… If everyone kept that element at the forefront of their
thoughts when engaging in ICANN work, we would probably have a lot less
friction in the organization and find our way to more effective bottom-up
decision-making.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the stakeholders' landscape and their learning needs requires a thorough
analysis of our various stakeholders profiles, their ICANN-related motivation,
and basically an understanding of their training needs. If we meet those
training needs (in many different ways I suppose), then we will optimize the
value, the reality, the sustainability and the functionning of the
multi-stakeholder model. Of course, I am of the school of ardent supporters of
the MS model as a key distinguishing feature of ICANN and maybe even its key to
long-term growth and sustainability. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

of the opinion that participating in a WG is a great way to learn (and
network to learn) but it is a time-consuming one and seen as risky for many new
stakeholders (time commitment, fear of the unknown and of rejection, etc...).
When faced with this, and after getting to know Mikey in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">San José</st1:place></st1:City> after having joined the IRTP-Part C
WG with the view of learning, Mikey told me something like: "don't be
discouraged, welcome to the club, we all went through this, it takes at least 2
years, etc...". Beacuse of Mikey's advice, and at time mentoring, I am
sticking to the plan, but sure would welcome so learning opportunities a bit
more structured! (Thanks Mikey for all the time you have given me!). </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
