Hello,

I agree! Every voter has to have two possible Votes for the ALAC Candidates

>> 2007 EURALO Election Details
>>
>> As posted by email by the ICANN staff, incorporating the decisions
>> recommended to the region on the teleconference of 4 May 2007.
>>
>>
>>
>> ELECTION PERIOD: Noon UTC, Friday 11 May to Noon UTC, Wednesday 16th May.
>>
>> VOTERS: The designated voters (1 per ALS) of ALSes who have signed the
>> Memorandum of Understanding with ICANN either in-person at the Lisbon
>>     
> ICANN
>   
>> meeting or digitally via electronic mail - at any time before the

> beginning
>   
>> of the voting - Text available from the RALO Organising Instruments page.
>> Current list of MOU signatories can be found at: the MoU Signatories page.
>>
>> CANDIDATES: All those nominated up to the end of the teleconference on 4th
>> May 2007 (see below for complete list)
>>
>> NUMBER OF BOARD SEATS: The strong recommendation of those on the
>> teleconference was that there should be 7 members of the initial board. If
>> there is any objection to this number, then the call's strong
>>     
> recommendation
>   
>> is that there should be a section on the ballot for each voter to pick
>>     
> from
>   
>> amongst the following options for the number of total seats: 5, 7, 9
>>
>> Voting For the ALAC Candidates:
>>
>> 1.      The ballot will work as follows:
>>
>> 1.      Each voter will rank, in order of preference, ALL the ALAC
>> candidates.
>>
>> 2.      The voting system will then produce a list, which incorporates the
>> preferences expressed. The candidate receiving the highest preference
>>     
> across
>   
>> all preference votes cast will show at the top of the list; the
>>     
> next-highest
>   
>> directly underneath, and the third preference at the bottom.
>>
>> 2.      Since the GC office has ruled that the candidature of Ms. Cretu is
>> in order, there will be three candidates.
>>
>> 3.      The terms of the two seats are staggered. Whichever candidate
>> receives the highest preference from amongst all the ranked votes cast
>>     
> shall
>   
>> have the two-year term. The candidate receiving the next-highest ranking
>> shall receive the one year term.
>>
>> 4.      The two candidates receiving the highest aggregated preference
>>     
> votes
>   
>> shall be elected. The remaining candidate, (if any) will be subject to
>> election to the Board (see below for details)
>>
>> Voting For the EURALO Board:
>>
>> 1.      The ballot for the board will list all of the current nominees for
>> board seats, of which there are twelve (12) (reproduced below and also at
>> Meeting Notes 4 May 2007.
>>
>> 2.      This list includes the three candidates for ALAC seats.
>>
>> 3.      The candidate for an ALAC seat who does not get elected, may be
>> seated as a board member (but see below). No candidate for ALAC may be
>> elected to both an ALAC seat AND a board seat, however.
>>
>> 4.      The actual ballot will work as follows:
>>
>> 1.      Each voter will rank, in order of preference, ALL the board
>> nominees.
>>
>> 2.      The voting system will then produce a list, which incorporates the
>> preferences expressed.
>>
>> 3.      The board members who will be elected are the top 'N' listed, from
>> the top of the list on down. The Number 'N' shall be either:
>>
>> 1.      In the case that no objection is raised to the call's
>>     
> recommendation
>   
>> of seven (7) members: 7
>>
>> 2.      In the case that an objection is raised, then the number shall be
>> that number from the selection above (5,7,9) which receives the most
>>     
> votes.
>   
>> TERM OF BOARD MEMBERS:
>>
>> It was not decided on the call how to determine which board members would
>> receive one year terms, and which would receive two, as per the Bylaws,
>> Clause 9.5.2. Therefore, the staff recommends the following:
>>
>> 1.      The top 1/2 of the list of preferences from the board election
>> (rounded to the nearest whole number, depending upon the number of seats),
>> will receive two-year terms, and the bottom 1/2 will receive one-year
>>     
> terms.
>   
>> PLEASE FEEL FREE TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCEDURE as this is simply a staff
>> proposal. Keep in mind, however, that it might be viewed as less than
>>     
> ideal
>   
>> to have another ballot, immediately after the first, to decide who shall
>> have what length of term from amongst those elected.
>>
>> VOTING MECHANISM:
>>
>> At-Large uses a voting system provided by BigPulse (www.bigpulse.com). The
>> authorised voter will receive an individualised email, with a clickable
>>     
> link
>   
>> as well as manual login instructions, which are individually-generated.
>>     
> The
>   
>> system will be setup to provide a secret ballot, and the ICANN staff will
>> ensure that the system produces a reminder email 48 hours before the vote
>> closes, and then again 24 hours before the vote closes, to any voter who
>>     
> has
>   
>> not yet voted to help ensure that they do cast a vote. We will also setup
>>     
> a
>   
>> URL where anyone will be able to see the results of the vote for
>>     
> themselves
>   
>> to ensure transparency with respect to the results. This URL will be
>> forwarded to both European email lists.
