(Re) Introduction

[Evan Leibovitch]

Hello all,

During the Toronto meeting I was re-elected by the At-Large Advisory
Committee as its liaison to the NCSG and am happy to serve again as a
conduit of ideas, messages and shared goals.

While the ALAC and NCSG differ on a number of issues (WHOIS is probably the
most glaring example), we share common ground on a number of significant
matters. With Kathy's help, I am happy to have penned the statement on the
URS jointly presented by Robin and ALAC Chair Olivier Crepin-Leblond at
last week's Public Forum.

On a personal level, I hope to engage more of the NCSG into efforts to
revitalize ICANN based on the ALAC's first white paper, generally known as
"R3" (available
here<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Future+Challenges+WG+-+R3+White+Paper>in
all 6 UN languages). In Toronto we held an extremely useful joint
session with the NPOC <http://toronto45.icann.org/node/34391> on this issue
that I hope will extend through more of the NCSG and beyond.

Now, a question: What is the preference here towards the level of my
participation? Is it that I stay relatively quiet except for
specifically-defined points of joint engagement? Or is it OK if I
occasionally wade into discussions, giving (my own personal take on) the
ALAC perspective on issues that we have worked upon. If so engaged, will
always indicate when an opinion is my own, based on a formal ALAC
statement, or on my own reading of the mood of the At-Large Community. I'm
OK to engage at any level. While such PoVs may at times differ from the
prevailing mood of NCSG, it's not my intent to be disruptive.
