Silvia Vivanco:Paragraphs just read by Olivier above
Oksana Prykhodko:i have some problems with sound(
Oksana Prykhodko:I have read Michael's proposition
Wolf Ludwig:Agree Michael
Oksana Prykhodko:from Michael's text: 2) The Vice Chair of Association is responsible for the following matters:i. The development of plans of work of the Board for the year period of time;ii. Control of the execution of the Rules of Procedures and year plansiii. Organization of the work of the secretariat, the adoption of monthly inadoption reports on the activities of the Board and Association’s members delegated by Association to the ICANN’s bodies and groups
Silvia Vivanco:You can see on screen the document sent by Mikhail
Oksana Prykhodko:I disagree with the number of Board members - not 6, but maybe 5 or 7
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Oksasa - I think we settled on 5 last week: Chair & Vice Chair (2) + 3 Board = 2+3 = 5
Oksana Prykhodko:@ Olivier: 6 is from Michail's proposition
Wolf Ludwig:I see a problem with point 13) for very practical reasons -- when we have a non-F2F GA, we will never reach a real quorum of members present ... and to convene an additional GA on short term always means a lot of additional work ...
Wolf Ludwig:But as "ex-ifficio" members the leaderships has no voting right on the Board ATM!
Wolf Ludwig:I agree!
Wolf Ludwig:What about saying "up to 7" -- depending on whether we always find the candidates needed?
Oksana Prykhodko:Board members have to chair EURALO WG - to help to hear all European UInternet users voices - or to be member of ALAC/ICANN WG - to present voices of EURALO into higher level
Wolf Ludwig:IMO -- depending on the situation whether we can find enough suitable candidates!
Wolf Ludwig:When we say "up to 7", we always have a certain flexibility needed.
Oksana Prykhodko:disconnected
Wolf Ludwig:Sorry -- I have to leave this call in about 5 minutes!
Oksana Prykhodko:@Roberto - maybe never at all, but we have to have this possibility
Terri Agnew:Oksana is back on audio
Oksana Prykhodko:@Terri thank you!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:One General Assembly per year = Annual General Assembly (AGM)
Wolf Ludwig:But it's not practibale!
Wolf Ludwig:sorry *practicable*
Silvia Vivanco:Thank you all
Mikhail Medrish:bye
Mikhail Medrish:Thanks
