[APAC-Discuss] Now Open: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR APRALO ALAC POSITION

Dear APRALO,

I note that staff has triggered the selction process for the regional
representatives to the ALAC. I would like to suggest that this selection
process be deferred/delayed until after the RALO Chair and Vice Chair
elections have been completed (ie, after July).

The ALAC representatives will only assume their role / start their term in
November. There is sufficient time to do the selection and to do it well.

The overlapping process of RALO leadership election and the ALAC selection
process may cause confusion within the community and I would advise pushing
the timeline for the ALAC selection process to happen later in the year.

Best regards,

Rinalia
