Eliza,

 

Noting the need for diversity, perhaps we should be then including the
regions our current list of representatives come from and how many meetings
they have attended.  This additional info would hopefully assist the
selectors.

 

Also, please add my name to the list, with N.A. region and 40 meetings.

 

Thank you.

 

RA

Ron,

 

According to the ICANN website, ?Each SO and AC is encouraged to send a list
of volunteers taking into account the need for diversity and not limited to
the number of seats open. This will allow the selectors (the CEO or his
designee and the Chair of the WG) to balance the various factors more
easily.?

 

Hope this clarifies a bit.

 

Best,

Elisa

Thank you for reposting this list and information Eliza.

 

Having attended 40 of ICANN's 45 meetings, I am very interested in this
issue.

 

I am wondering if other BC members share my concern about this statement: As
clearly noted in the ICANN materials, the number of representatives per SO
will be between 1 and 4, with no guarantee of any specific number.?  Who is
making the determination and why such a small number of representatives.

 

In a bottom up consensus driven organization as ICANN, it seems that
limiting such an important group will lessen the number of ideas as well as
the depth of discussion around what future meetings look like.  Moreover, an
exclusionary approach will undoubtedly minimize input of the most affected
parties -- the attendees.  I think we can all agree that the growth from
meetings of 500-600 participants to those of upward of 1500 over the course
of this past decade is something that merits serious discussion.  What I
don't understand is why and who is limiting these discussions to such a
small group of representatives.  Working Groups are not limited, so why
would this group be?

 

Perhaps the BC could hold some discussions on this topic across the CSG to
maximize feedback to whomever the CSG's participants are? 

 

Thank you to those members who have volunteered.  It would be good to have
all of you in those discussions, in my view.

 

I welcome other member?s thoughts on this.

 

Kind regards,

 

RA

Dear Benedetta,

 

Can you advise how much representation we have in this Working Group from
the BC?  I am considering it, but don?t need to jump in if the BC is already
well-represented.

 

Thank you,
