staff to make an immediate call for members of the two
groups who will be responsible for moving the process

the two groups are:<br>
<br>
1) Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC)<br>
<br>
According to Article 19.2 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure
(2016):<br>
<br>
"The ALAC shall name a Board Member Selection Process
Committee (BMSPC) which shall oversee the entire selection
process including the election culminating the process but
excluding those responsibilities specifically retained by
the ALAC or given to the Board Candidate Evaluation
Committee. The composition of the BMSPC will be regionally
balanced and the committee will be populated with two
representatives of each region selected by both the ALAC and
the RALOs. For each region, one Alternate member will be
selected who can replace a member from the same region who
for whatever reason is not able to fully participate and
such replacement will be at the sole discretion of the BMSPC
Chair in accordance with BMSPC guidelines. The ALAC shall
name a chair of the BMSPC."<br>
<br>
The group is open to both ALAC Members and to At-Large
community members and to RALO Leaders. However, the
membership should include members of the community with
significant experience from the 2010 or 2014 Board Director
selected by At-Large process. English will be the working
language of this group.<br>
<br>
<b>The group must be regionally balanced, with two
representatives from each of the five RALOs. Each RALO
will also select an Alternate member in the event one of
the original members must be replaced.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
The ALAC will select the Chair of the BMSPC.<br>
<br>
The first meeting of the BMSPC will be scheduled for late
August or early September.<br>
<br>
2) Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC)<br>
<br>
The new ALAC Rules of Procedures state the following on the
composition and task of the BCEC:<br>
<br>
"19.3 The ALAC shall name a Board Candidate Evaluation
Committee (BCEC) to compile an initial slate of candidates
for election to Seat 15. A new BCEC consisting of two
delegates selected by each of the RALOs plus a chair
selected by the ALAC will be convened for each Board seat
selection process. Each RALO shall also select an Alternate
member who can replace a member from the same region who for
whatever reason is not able to fully participate and such
replacement will be at the sole discretion of the BCEC Chair
in accordance with BCEC guidelines"<br>
<br>
"19.4 The task of the BCEC is to identify applicants who
would each make an excellent Board Director. [19.4.1]
Applicant selected by the BCEC must meet the criteria
specified in the ICANN Bylaws Article VI, Section 3 (
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3">http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3</a>).
These criteria include but are not limited to being: a)
accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and
intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open
minds, and a demonstrated capacity for thoughtful group
decision-making; and b) persons with an understanding of
ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN decisions
on the global Internet community, and committed to the
success of ICANN. Moreover, the Director selected by the
At-Large Community must understand the mission of At-Large
and the needs of the global community of Internet end
users."<br>
<br>
"19.5 No member of the electorate (Paragraph 19.10) may
simultaneously serve as a member of the BCEC."<br>
<br>
<b>According to 19.5, members of the electorate (i.e.,
members of the ALAC and RALO Chairs who will be serving in
2017) may not be BCEC members.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
