During a discussion on some of the details of the selection process
on the ALAC list, I realized that there was a problem with my
suggested wording for ARTICLE VI, Section 4(2).
Specifically, under my wording, if a person (for example, and ALAC
member) submits a SoI to the BCEC, that person can no longer
participate in the selection process or vote. That would be true even
if that person was eliminated from the slate and not one of the final
candidates.
I suggest the following change with the new wording in upper case:
No person who serves in any capacity (including as a liaison) on the
At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a
RALO, shall simultaneously serve as a Director or liaison to the
Board. If such a person submits a Statement of Interest to be
considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the person shall not,
following such submission, participate in any discussion of, or vote
by the At-Large Advisory Committee, RALO chairs or any of the
constituent At-Large Advisory Committee sub-committees relating to
the selection of the person to hold Board Seat 15 until the selection
process has been completed. In the event that a person serving on the
At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a
RALO, submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate
for Board Seat 15, the RALO for the region that the person represents
may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection
process. In the event that a person is serving as a Liaison to the
At-Large Advisory Committee, the group or entity that selected the
person may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's
selection process. SHOULD A PERSON SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION NOT BE
LISTED ON THE PUBLISHED FINAL SLATE OF CANDIDATES, THE TERMS OF THIS
SECTION NO LONGER APPLY.
I understand that it is too late for this new wording to be included
in the formal comments, but should my overall comment to this section
be acted upon, the new addition will remove a possible disenfranchisement.
