RULE 4 - ELECTION OF LIAISONS

 

4.1 Liaisons to ICANN's Advisory Committees, Supporting Organizations
and Constituencies can be established by approval of the Committee; in

that case, they will follow the rules established for the appointment
and functioning of the GNSO Liaison

 

4.2 **Refers to *The Board Liaison*, and is therefore not relevant here,
and will be redacted from the revised ALAC ROPs*

 

4.3 The election can take place by electronic mail, online balloting,
written balloting, or any other means deemed convenient and accurate

 

4.4 All liaisons serve for a term of one year starting from the closure
of an Annual General Meeting and ending at the closure of the following

Annual General Meeting.

 

4.5 Liaisons shall be freely chosen by the ALAC, according to the
following criteria:

 

4.6 They shall normally be persons who are current or former members of
the ALAC, or are anyway familiar with the activities and functioning of

ICANN and of the ALAC;

 

4.7 They shall accept to serve on behalf of the At-Large Community by
acting for the good of the entire Committee, working to bridge

differences and build consensus, but also recognizing difference and
enabling different opinions to be shared;

 

4.8 They shall accept, while acting in their capacity as an ALAC
representative, to put the collective views of the ALAC, always, in
front of their own.

 

RULE 5 - QUALIFICATION CRITERIA FOR LIAISONS

 

5.1 There is no requirement for a Liaison to be a member of the At-Large
Advisory Committee;*

 

5.2 A conflict of interest statement must be filed;

 

5.3 A person may not serve two different liaison positions at the same time;

 

5.4 All liaisons can be removed before the end of their term by a vote
of recall according to rule 11;

 

5.5 All liaisons have a duty of performing their roles with diligence
and loyalty to the Committee, and are bound to meet the minimum

participation requirements set forth in Rule 21. In case of failure to
do so, the Chair shall call a vote of recall.

 

The mission and responsibilities of each Liaison of the ALAC are:

 

5.6 To participate diligently in the meetings and activities of the body
he/she is liaison to;

 

5.7 To communicate and advocate the positions of the ALAC to such body;

 

5.8 To report to the ALAC the current and upcoming activities of the
body he/she is liaison to, as far as this is possible under the timing

and confidentiality constraints of such *body;*

 

5.9 When this is possible under such constraints, ask to the ALAC for
advance instructions on matters that are going to be discussed by such body.

 

RULE 6 - PRIVILEGES OF LIAISONS

 

6.1 All liaisons have the same rights of access to information, mailing
lists and documents *as the ordinary ALAC members.*

 

*PLEASE NOTE:* With the exception of the ALAC ByLaw-mandated liaisons to
the GNSO and the ccNSO, there is no assured travel finding for ALAC
Liaisons to attend

ICANN Meetings unless they are serving ALAC members. Therefore,
assurances that they can still perform their role will be required.
