[ALAC] Election for 2009 NomCom representatives now open

[At-Large Staff]

Dear ALAC members, 

The nomination period for regional NomCom representatives ended on August
25th and led to the following situation:

*  three regions have put forward only one candidate. His or her name will
directly be submitted to the NomCom.
* two regions have put forward two candidates and will require an ALAC vote

These are the regions who have provided only one name, all of whom are
eligible for appointment to the NomCom:

* Asia-Pacific: Hong Xue
* Europe: Desiree Milosevic
* Latin-America and the Caribbean: Matías Altamira

The appointment of the above candidates will directly be confirmed to the
NomCom.  With regards to Africa and North America, which both submitted two
candidates, the ALAC members will elect one regional representative for each
of these regions. An electronic vote has been set up to that effect for a
period of seven day. It will end on September 8th at 1800 UTC. The ALAC
members will receive their credentials for this election shortly. In case
the candidates sent us their biographies they are linked to the ballot.

The NomCom candidates for Africa and North America are:

* Africa: Alan Levin, Khaled Koubaa
* North America: Dharma Dailey

Regards,

Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Frederic Teboul
