Dear All:
My apologies that this has taken a couple of hours to get done, but
it has been an extremely busy day. Here is the state-of-the-art with
respect to the elections process. I hope that the improvements to the
table (requested by various ALSes) are helpful:
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: Five Calendar Days, beginning at Noon UTC on the
date when the ballot has completed testing, and ending on at Noon UTC
on the 5th day.
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. Since there were objections 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:
The ballot will work as follows:
Each voter will rank, in order of preference, ALL the ALAC candidates.
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.
Since the GC office has ruled that the candidature of Ms. Cretu is in
order, there will be three candidates.
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.
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:
The ballot for the board will list all of the current nominees for
board seats, of which there are eleven (11) (reproduced below and
also at Meeting Notes 4 May 2007.
This list includes two of the three candidates for ALAC seats,as one
candidate has withdrawn his name from consideration for a Board seat.
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.
The actual ballot will work as follows:
Each voter will rank, in order of preference, ALL the board nominees.
The voting system will then produce a list, which incorporates the
preferences expressed.
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 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:
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.
