[ALAC] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: ALAC Chair

Tue Jun 5 07:44:04 UTC 2018

Hello Alan,

Trust this finds you well, first I know there will still be time to do this
but I want to use this opportunity to thank you for your service to ALAC,
Atlarge and the entire ICANN community. You will be leaving a very large
shoe that will be difficult to get a perfect fit for.

However, because it is important to continue to ensure diversity in our
leadership based on region and also on skills among other things, I
hereby nominate Tijani Ben Jemaa for the ALAC Chair position.

My current term as an ALAC Member expires at the end of the AGM in October
of this year, as does my term as ALAC Chair. I have previously said that I
would not be a candidate for Chair of the ALAC for the coming year and in
fact I am not a candidate for an ALAC seat.

When the issue was discussed in San Juan, there was a general consensus
within the ALAC that the position should be opened sooner rather than
later, but not before the selection of RALO-appointed ALAC members was
complete.

The roster of 2018-2019 ALAC Members is now complete, with the exception of
the NomCom appointees from North America and Europe. ALAC Rules of
Procedure (RoP - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09) 5.2 states

*"A person nominated to be Chair does not need to be an ALAC Member at the
time of nomination but must have an expectation of being an ALAC Member
after the next ALAC Annual General Meeting...". *The 13 known Members on
next year's ALAC are (in alphabetic order of region and given name):

AF: Hadia Elminiawi, Seun Ojedeji, Tijani Ben Jemaa
AP: Holly Raiche, Kaili Kan, Maureen Hilyard
EU: Bastiaan Goslings, Sébastien Bachollet
LAC: Bartlett Morgan, Humberto Carrasco, Ricardo Holmquist
NA: John Laprise, Marita Moll

Current NomCom appointees to the ALAC from EU and NA are Andrei Kolesnikov
and Javier Rúa-Jovet.

*With this message, nominations, including self-nominations are now being
accepted. In accordance with the ALAC RoP, this Call for Nominations will
remain open for no less than 14 days and will end at 23:59 on Monday, 18
June 2018. ONLY CURRENT ALAC MEMBERS MAY MAKE NOMINATIONS. Nominations must
be sent to the ALAC list. *Messages accepting or declining nominations must
be sent to the ALAC list no later than 7 days after the close of
nominations.

If there is more than one candidate, there will be an opportunity during
the ICANN meeting in Panama to talk to the candidates and an election will
be held during the meeting. The winner must receive votes from the majority
of sitting ALAC Members. The ALAC RoP Section 17.2 details the election
procedure and how to proceed in the case of a variety of unusual conditions.

Alan Greenberg
Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee
