AGENDA     

1. Welcome and Roll Call - Staff (3 minutes)

2. Review of the Agenda - Roberto (2 minutes)

3. Review of the Action Items from the call of

   the     

   23 September - Roberto (

   .   

   5 minutes)

4. Status of the Discussion on Criteria (10 minutes)

   1. Should the requirement that an individual not be a member of an ALS be loosened? 

      1. to keep a strict rule (as is today) about incompatibility of being at the same time an Unaffiliated Individual and a member of an accredited ALS;

      2. to allow people being at the same Unaffiliated Individuals and members of an accredited ALS without limitation;

      3. to allow people being Unaffiliated Individuals only if they are not in a leadership position in an accredited ALS

   2.  Whether individual users can join as Unaffiliated Individuals only in the region where they have their residency or that they are citizen of, or whether they can join in a different region. In case the latter option is preferred, we should also decide whether an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in one region only, or whether we allow multiple membership. 

      1. an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual only in the region where she/he is resident or is a citizen of (this is the status quo in most of the RALOs, if I understand correctly)

      2. an individual user can choose to apply to be an Unaffiliated Individual in any region

      3. an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in a region that is different from the region of citizenship or residence, but in this case he/she will have a special status (e.g. observer instead of full member) with limitations to be defined, related of the right of vote within the Unaffiliated Individual community of the region, or to the ability to have a leadership position in that community, or other (this is the case of EURALO, that has 60+ full members and 5 observers)

   3. Whether an individual user can be an Unaffiliated Individual in more than one region.

5. Continuation of the Discussion on Purpose of Individuals - Roberto/All (25

   Discussion on Overarching Question whether Unaffiliated Individuals should not be allowed to be Members of an ALS (15 minutes)

   1. If the majority is in favour for this restriction, there is no point in continuing discussions and try to figure out how to weaken this restriction.
   2. If the majority believe that some relaxation can be envisaged, we will continue the discussion whether different guidelines can be recommended (However, a final vote of the ALAC would need to be taken, provided that the ALAC and ICANN bylaws allow for these guidelines.)

6. Purposes of Unaffiliated Members - A continuation from the previous call - Roberto/All (25 minutes)

7. Next Call - Roberto (5 minutes)

8. AOB - Roberto (5 minutes)
