[APAC-Discuss] Support for self-nominations for ALAC position- clarification

Dear Karaitiana,

I can explain what will happen after the poll closes, we will have decided  either  to:

1) Proceed with the process as scheduled -immediately

2) Delay the process until a webinar on the ALAC role has been held

In the meantime I am taking notes of the (in my own notebook) and once the formal ALAC nomination period starts, I will reconfirm with the nominees and will input the names into the WIKI.

I hope this clarifies your concerns,


Kind regards,

Silvia

Thanks for clarifying that Sala, I appreciate that. It does prove my point about the confusion.



Perhaps someone can explain what will happen after the poll closes. Is it binding, or merely a democratic vote for APRALO to formalise at a future meeting or simply a FYI.



Regards,

Karaitiana Taiuru

Actually, once the call for nominations is open, it is an open invitation to treat. Under RALO governing rules, the process for calls has been initiated and all nominations are now in play and cannot be rescinded unless of course Fouad and Maureen both withdraw their nominations.



The issue of the poll is merely to show what the general climate is on continuing the process. The poll cannot circumvent the process but it can certainly delay the process if there is general consensus to support Rinalia's suggestion to delay the process.



Kind Regards,

Sala

Dear colleagues,

While I have seen and believe in the benefits of the early ALAC vote to allow transition and succession,  and I am surprised that all of the historical documentation in support of this has been ignored. We cannot being nominations till we know "when" the nomination period is open. Thus, I believe all nominations and support are invalid till the pole closes could be seen as confusing the current poll.

I would like to suggest that all nominations and support emails cease immediately and staff ignore the correspondence as it.

Dear all,

As it is still under consideration the point about delay or no for ALAC representative election, but having the fact that Maureen and Fouad have already self-nominated themselves for that position, I would like to express my support for both nominations (if I may of course) and wish them luck in the election process.

Thanks

> > On behalf of APRALO leadership, a poll pertaining to the schedule of
> > the
selection process for the 2013-2015 APRALO representative to the ALAC, whose term will begin at the end of the ICANN Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for 17-21 November 2013 will be beginning shortly.  This position is currently held by  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro.
> >
> > Two arguments have been presented for consideration:
> >
> > (1) Proceed with the process as scheduled - The selection process
> > for
the 2013-2015 APRALO representative to the ALAC should start immediately in order to have the optimal transition of role between the existing and replacement of our representatives on the ALAC in time for the AGM.
> >
> > (2) Delay the process until a webinar on the ALAC role has been held
> > -
The process should be delayed until a webinar is held as the role requires a certain level of awareness-raising and exchanges in terms of performance expectations,  required skill and knowledge sets, workload coping mechanisms, etc.  The webinar should happen prior to the nomination process so that interested individuals and voters have a good understanding of what is required.
> >
> > THEREFORE, a poll is being opened to determine which path APRALO
> > would
take.
> >
> > The question of the poll (to be sent by staff shortly) is:
> >
> > "It has been proposed by an ALS Member that the current selection
schedule for the APRALO ALAC Representative 2013-2015 be re-scheduled to the following to accommodate a webinar on the ALAC role.
> >
> > APRALO Representative to the ALAC 2013-2015 Selection Schedule:

> >  *   May 27th   - At-Large Staff and APRALO?s Chair  announce selections
and call for nominations.
> >  *   May 27th  ? June 14th June  - Nomination period (nominations
accepted for 3 weeks).
> >  *   June 21st  - Deadline for nomination acceptances (nominees must

> >  *   June 28th ? July 5th - Elections (If required, elections will begin
no later than one week after the deadline for nomination acceptances and end no later than two weeks after that deadline).

representative shall be seated on the ALAC at the close of the 2013 AGM on Thursday, 21st November 2013.

organized between now and the 27th May 2013 on the ALAC role for APRALO.
