Topic: Your Accessibility to the At Large Membership
Date: 2000-10-09 04:12:25
Author: Gil Citro

Question: If elected, how accessible will you be to the At Large membership? Do you expect to make yourself available by email or through some public forum? If so how and how frequently? If elected, what percentage of your time do you expect to devote to your ICANN activities?

I'll set up a public discussion space immediately, and answer questions on a regular basis. I will devote as much of my time as needed.

I shall be accessible via email. I shall also request that ICANN establish a public forum for the at large membership, both to increase feedback to the Board and to provide a vehicle that allows the at large membership to communicate among themselves.

If elected, I shall treat the position as a full time job.

Email - always. The at-large membership needs a public forum, both regional (the European region has already established a successful public forum, but none of the other regions has) and global; I expect to be an active participant in that forum whether or not I am elected to the ICANN board. As an ICANN director I would spend much more time interacting with the at-large membership than sitting in board meetings, and would take advantage of (and create) opportunities to present and discuss ICANN's mission and activities.

Please peruse this Q&A forum (look at all questions answered) and decide for yourself who is willing to put the time in. I think you'll find my level of commitment to be sufficient.

1. Very accessible. 2. Email--all the time. Public fora: I speak publicy in various fora around the world 50-60 times each year, and expect that will continue. At each of those events, I am available for input. I will accept additional requests for public appearances if I believe it gives me meaningful input. 3. As much as necessary to do the job right.
