Staff are working with the ALAC Chair and the Chairs of the two At-Large WGs that work on the Board Seat 15 election process to set up the workspaces, finalize the timeline and prepare the call for WG members.
The weekly Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) meeting on 10 July featured an update on the EPDP Phase II and extensive discussion on current ALAC statements in development. The CPWG then debriefed from ICANN65 and the policy workshop on WT5 Geo Names, and discussed next steps. The CPWG is developing statements regarding (4) additional ICANN public comments.
The Social Media Working Group (SMWG) also met to debrief on ICANN65, including the ICANN65 Twitter Competition and follow up to the At-Large Universal Acceptance (UA) Activation Pilot.
The ALAC contribution to the evolving multistakeholder model condensed the 21 issues developed through community consultations into 4 general categories: (1) structural, (2) process, (3) participation and (4) intergroup relations. Regarding structure and process, the ALAC recommends more specific scoping, the use of external influences and project management tools, easily retrievable records of discussions and decisions and joint community/staff priority setting. Regarding participation, the ALAC noted the mutlistakeholder system depends on wide participation in the process and wide participation from all regions remains a challenge, including language barriers and volunteer burnout. Finally regarding intergroup relations, the ALAC noted there will always be disagreements, but a culture of positive relations between and among groups must be actively encouraged.
