[ALAC] 2020-2021 ALT Call for Nominations

Note that the ALAC RoP 16.3 calls for unopposed
accepted nominations to be acclaimed without any
additional action of the ALAC (this applies to
all ALAC selections, not just the ALT).
On the substance of this thread, I do have a few
comments based on my experience both on the ALT
before I was Chair and for my time as Chair.
Identifying ALT members is an interesting
challenge. The positions do require a significant
commitment over that of a regular ALAC Member,
the Vice-Chairs even more. Experience can be
valuable, as is a fresh perspective. Moreover,
optimally, you want a set of people with
complimentary skills, and a group that will work
well together (that does not necessarily mean agree with each other!)
Sometimes there are three great candidates from a
region - all willing to take on the load. Other
times, none of the people from a region really feel comfortable taking it on.
