<div style="FONT:9pt 宋体"><b>Subject:</b> [ALAC] Selection of ALAC Chair</div>
<div><br></div>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>The nomination
and acceptance period is now complete. In three of the five RALOs, the ALAC
seat is not contested, but it is in LACRALO and NARALO. The election is due to
begin on Friday and end on Thursday, 24 May.<br><br>Presuming the two
elections result in definitive selections, I will formally initiate a call for
nominations for ALAC Chair soon after. According to the ALAC Rules of
Procedure, the call must be open for at least 14 days. That puts the end of
the nomination period on or around Friday, 08 June. There is a 7 day period
allowing for acceptances, but I am optimistic that any nominations will be
accepted or declined quickly. Nominations may only be made by current ALAC
Members, nominees must have a reasonable expectation of being on the post-AGM
ALAC, and the electorate is the current ALAC.<br><br>If there is only one
candidate, that person will be declared incoming Chair. If there is more than
one candidate, I will request that a teleconference be scheduled to allow the
candidates to present themselves and address any questions the ALAC may have
for them (as well as a Wiki space for written questions and
answers).<br><br>That will allow the election to be conducted electronically
prior to departure for Panama. If, for some reason this schedule cannot be
met, then the election may be conducted in Panama. If there is an ALAC
consensus, the election may be deferred until Panama regardless of
timing.<br><br>There are specific rules covering the situation of more than
two candidates and to address ties. For those interested in all of the
details, see section 17.2 of the ALAC RoP (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">
http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09</a>).<br><br><b><u>PLEASE NOTE that this
message is NOT the call for nominations. That will not happen until after the
current ALAC selection process is complete.<br><br></u></b>Alan<br>Â <br>
