<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Hi, Tijani,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Ooops, seems like I jumped into a water before guaging
it. Sorry for not being familier with the current procedures niether the
history of those.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>However, if the candidates are not from ALAC, but also
from RALOs, what if we include the RALOs during the "general election"? If
ALAC cannot now delegate to ALT what is to be done, can't that be changed thru
some processes if so desired ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Regarding "authoritatian regimes", my personal
understanding is that they are based on force (even on blood and lifes),
while any excuses are only secondary. Thus, do we see this kind of force
in ICANN or ALAC ? If not, maybe we do not need to worry that much about
such regimes, especially not about the excuses, for they will not work
after all. If yes, how can it threaten people for being disobedient
? After all, we are volunteers and nobody count on ICANN or ALAC to
make a living.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Of course, these arguments may go on forever within a
democracy, and may not help much to solve the current problem of our next
Board Member. Thus, I withdraw from this discussion and remain on the
sideline.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Thank you, and thank you all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#002e7a>I’m sorry to disagree with you on

<DIV>
<UL class=MailOutline>
<LI><FONT color=#002e7a>The electorate is not constituted by the ALAC
members only, but also the RALO leaders, so the ALAC can’t delegate to ALT
what is not its sole duty</FONT>
<LI><FONT color=#002e7a>even if we suppose that the ALT is elected
democratically by the ALAC members, this doesn’t mean that the ALT can be
delegated to replace the ALAC. This is exactly the argument given by the
authoritarian regimes arguing that since they were elected by their
people, they have all the rights to do everything on their behalf because
they know better then the people where is their interest. When you are
democratically elected, it is a mandate for a limited time to do certain
things; it is not an open mandate to replace who elected you outside
the mandate you are elected for. </FONT></LI></UL><BR>

size=2 face=宋体>- As the ALT will be making the selection on behalf of
all of ALAC, the process should be open to all ALAC voting members
(not beyond). Thus, the selection made by each ALT member in this
process will affect the support he/she receives during later elections of
the ALT. This will in turn put a "lid" on any possible blackbox deals
which will be the safeguard for our democratic principle.</FONT></DIV>

size=2 face=宋体>- We at ALAC are merely representatives of ALSes, or of the
end-users in the world (maybe to a lesser extent regarding NomCom selectees
like me). Thus, as they elected and delegated us to make selections on
their behalf, it would also make sense to extend the same principle to the
ALT in the case we cannot effectively make a selection.</FONT></DIV>

size=2 face=宋体>Furthermore, as Alan pointed out, it is possible, even
likely, that tied-candidates be ALT members themselves, and even the
chairperson him/herself. So be it. I don't think anywhere in the
world's elections prohibit a person to vote for him/herself. Based on
the above same arguments, he/she has received enough support for the
position during the "general" election process, and is thus well
deserved. Thus, he/she moving to the Board will vacate the ALT
position, maybe even the chairperson position, for new blood. Also, as
he/she gets the position as desired, I am sure that he/she will work
even harder to contribute to ICANN's mission.</FONT></DIV>

size=2 face=宋体>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=宋体>Of course, before ALT selects on behalf of the
whole ALAC, how many rounds of tie-breaking need to take place is up to
debate. As I am not familiar to the current process, I am sure
that, with so much wisdom in ALAC, a process to bridge the gap between
the current process and the future one could be designed. However,
again as Arrow's Nobel-prized Theorem has proven, especially as the Board
Member selection process has been a "long and painful" one so far, a certain
degree of "dictatorship" ("democracy-based dictatorship" to be exact) has to
be there as a last resort.</FONT></DIV>
