[ALAC] Rules of Procedure - Draft for discussion at 26 March ALAC meeting

[Yaovi Atohoun]

Dear Alan,

Thank you again for the hard work. 


  A/    comments/questions

1)  Does "recall" of an ALT member means that this member is no  more member of ALT but remains an ALAC member?
2)  For BCEC it is mentioned: A new BCEC will be convened for each Board Seat Selection Process in 19.3.  Please don't we need such precision for BMSPC too? 


B/    Comment

1) I would prefer to see also included in 12.1.15   the removal of an ALAC member.  I note that  21.2 is saying  "should a vote be necessary ......"

C/ One thought

Could we have a situation where a chair decide to become a regular ALT or ALAC member in a situation where he thinks that he could not more carry the work load?


Thank you
Yaovi

Objet : [ALAC] Rules of Procedure - Draft for discussion at 26 March ALAC meeting
 
Attached please find the Draft Rules of Procedure for discussion at the 26 March 2013 ALAC meeting. Also attached is a redline version showing most of the changes from the RoP discussed at the 19 March 2013 meeting.

In addition to the changes detailed below, there are two sets of changes what do not show in the redline:

- A number of corrections to cross-references within the document.
- The movement of what was "10.3 Meeting Rules" to "10. Rules of the ALAC". This change was not shown in the redline version since the move caused all of the following paragraph numbers to be changed, making the document quite confusing.

Changes showing in the redline version:

1. Clarifying the status of individual members within At-large.
1.2 clarification of rules used.
2. Add definition of Super-majority and capitalize it where used within the document.
5.2 and other places: Define AAGM on first usage, and us it instead of AGM within the document (some occurrences previously said AGM).
5.6 Made reference to privileges associated only with the "ALAC Chair" clearer.
5.13 Replaced reference to Ombudsman with an alternative phrase taken from the ICANN Bylaws.
5.14 Added condition that only those who have at least one other ALAC member supporting them can be named Chair.
10.1 The section on rules was moved because it did not apply only to meetings. The addition of "or activities" acknowledges this.
11.4.2 Add a word that had inadvertently been omitted.
11.4.4 Removal of a redundant phrase.
11.2.3 Addition of rule to allow more stringent rules for motion adoption.

The draft RoP can also be found at https://community.icann.org/x/VoYi.
