Re: [lac-discuss-en] CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST for the Board Director Selected by At-Large now open through 26 December 2013

Dear José,

 

When the EoI (previously called SoI) was conceived for the first round by
the ABSdt (I was one of the members), we designed the document for the Board
director selected by ALAC (Seat 15) not for the general case. In fact we
took the requirements used for the general case (ICANN Bylaws), we added the
requirements used by NomCom to select a board director, and we then added
the At-Large requirements. This document is not for the general case; it?s
for the selection of the Board director selected by ALAC only.

Thanks Tijiani for the clarification. 

But I still think that we should have 3 different  EoI, because if knowlege
of at-large community is a general requirement to be a Board Member I can
not imagine that all the current menmber of the borad have that backgraund,
and for my point of view they do not have to have it. It is crazy to think
that, so the actual documment for the 3 categories should be review.

Maybe Olivier can add something that we are missing. 

 

My 2 cents

Hi José,

 

Sorry for the late reply. In fact, the EoI is the duty of the BCEC, and this
reply is a personal opinion.

 

You know, the requirements that you mentioned was in 3 categories:

·        The requirements for the board members in the ICANN bylaws

·        The requirements for a board member used by the NomCom

·        And additional At-Large requirements

 

I think that what appeared as a contradiction for you is the result of the
combination of the 3 categories.

It?s true that a board member is supposed to serve for the benefit of ICANN
as a whole, and not as a representative of a certain stakeholder, but you
don?t imagine ALAC appointing someone who doesn?t know anything of the end
users? concerns and interests. I think that it?s normal that the candidate
should be well aware of the At-Large affairs. While selected, this Board
member will act as an individual for the benefit of ICANN, but with his/her
background and his knowledge of the At-Large community.

 

My 2 cents

Dear Tijiani and Roberto,

 

Any comment about my email. I know that we are runing out of time now, but I
really see contradictions in the text which may confuse candidates and
applicants.

 

Kind Regards

Dear all,

I read the document and have some questions:

 

1) Regarding the first paragraph: ??member must be able to reflect the
users' point of view and interests in the debate and decision making
undertaken within the ICANN framework?.

The last two times LACRALO talked about this issue, and the last was in
Buenos Aires meeting, with Fatima´s question to Sébastien Bachollet, the
answer was the same: Once the candidate is elect, is a Board member without
identifying a group, and does not have to explain to the community that vote
for him/her, but the entire community at large.  

Even more the text included mentioned the requirement of background in
Internet users' interests. Should this be a specific requirement? Or Should
be only global requirements? And it seems there is a contradiction with the
part: What does an ICANN Board Director do? ? Serve as individuals who have
the duty to act in what they reasonably believe are the best interests of
ICANN and not as representatives of the entity that selected them, their
employers or any other organizations or constituencies;?

If this is my confusion, requested the appropriate apologies. 

 

2) I know it is controversial subject, but the third paragraph defined what
is ?At-large?, and I want to know if there is consensus about this.

 

I´ll appreciate a clarification 

 

Kind regards

 

José Arce
