[At-Large] [ALAC] ELECTION CALL for ALAC Officers to serve from 22 October 2012 to ICANN AGM 2013

Tue Sep 18 10:25:41 UTC 2012

Dear members of the ALAC and At-Large,

I nominate Olivier Crepin Leblond for the position of the ALAC Chair.

I request that Olivier, based on his experience as the ALAC Chair, provide
information that can further inform the ALAC Officers' elections process
and help members of the ALAC select the most suitable individuals for the
task, specifically:

1) An articulation on the role of the Excom in supporting the Chair in the
overall administration and management of the ALAC [in real terms so that
people understand].

2) A view on how the "dramatic change in ICANN" is likely to impact the
role of the ALAC Chair and his ability to manage and lead the ALAC.

3) The expected role of the Excom in supporting the ALAC Chair in this new
and challenging context and the kind of qualification (substantive and
experience-based) needed within the pool of elected ALAC Officers to ensure
effective support.

With the information above, members of the ALAC would be in a better
position to weigh the advantages of "continuity" versus "change"/"rotation"
in the roster of ALAC Officers.

Best regards,

Rinalia
