> Vittorio,
> 
> Please forward this response to Clement (sorry, I
> can't find his email address) and to the ALAC -- I
> will try to refrain from further commentary until such
> time as your committee reaches a decision pursuant to
> my appeal).
> 
> Clement and members of the ALAC,
> 
> I and others in the At-Large community support the
> conclusions reached by the At-Large Study Committee
> which called for the establishment of a Supporting
> Organization for the At-Large.  I support their
> recommendation to populate one-third of the ICANN
> Board with At-Large directors.
> 
> I differ with the ALSC only on methodology.  Instead
> of global elections I have proposed the following
> (which resides on your At-Large Forum):
> 
> 1.  Supporting Organizations are ICANN Structures that
> through a Council elect representatives to the ICANN
> Board.
> 
> 2.  Supporting Organizations Councils are populated by
> distinct groups (in the GNSO those distinct groups are
> the six Constituencies).
> 
> 3.  The At-Large Study Committee, having found broad
> support, recommended the creation of a Supporting
> Organization for the At-Large (the ALSO).
> 
> 4.  The ALSO and its Council can be populated by
> distinct groups.  Those distinct groups would be the
> certified at-large structures and an all-inclusive
> Assembly for non-affiliated individuals).
> 
> 5.  The distinct groups of the ALSO through their
> Council can elect representatives to the Board just as
> the GNSO constituencies through their Council elect
> representatives to the ICANN Board.
> 
> 6.  The At-Large Study Committee recommended that one
> third of the Board be populated by the At-Large (five
> out of fifteen Board members).
> 
> 7.  The ALSO will have a five regions structure.  Each
> region will elect a representative to the Board.
> 
> This basic proposal offers an indirect election
> methodology as a path forward -- the same path that is
> used by other Supporting Organizations -- this serves
> to answer the Board's concern over the feasibility of
> global elections.
> 
> The decision that ICANN, in its wisdom, took to
> establish an advisory committee can certainly be
> revisited -- we are, after all, an evolving
> institution that is on the verge of conducting the
> ALAC Review as mandated by the bylaws.  
> 
> This is an appropriate time to examine structural and
> operational modalities.
> 
> All I am asking for is a joint discussion between ALAC
> and the balance of the At-Large community that will be
> facilitated by the same type of mailing/dicussion list
> that your committee currently utilizes.  
> 
> I believe that ALAC structures will fit well into a
> Supporting Organization environment, and such an
> environment with the prospect of electing directors to
> the Board -- will spur ALS growth to the satisfaction
> of both the Committee and the Board.
> 
> Best wishes,
> Danny Younger
