    Dear Michele,<br>
    <br>
    the electorate for the selection of the At-Large selected Board
    member is:<br>
    <br>
    - The 15 member ALAC, plus<br>
    - The 5 RALO Chairs<br>
    <br>
    ALAC members have a free vote. They have a choice to either listen
    to the Region that they are from, or to decide on the vote by
    themselves.<br>
    The RALO Chairs can vote in a directed vote, thus have to follow the
    majority choice of their At-Large Structures.<br>
    <br>
    Thus, as a RALO Chair, I'll launch a vote of EURALO ALSes to advise
    me who to vote for.<br>
    <br>
    Ref: ALAC Rules of Procedure:<br>
    ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09">http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09</a> )<br>
    <br>
    <i>19.10.3 If a vote of a RALO Chair is to be directed by RALO
      membership, that decision and the nature of the direction require
      vote(s) of the RALO according to its rules.</i><i><br>
    </i><i>19.10.4 ALAC Members, or any individual selected to replace
      an ALAC Member for the purposes of the vote, are encouraged to
      consult with the RALO from their region, but voting will however
      be undirected and votes must be confidentially cast in what the
      ALAC Member believes to be in the best interests of At-Large, the
      ALAC and ICANN.</i><br>
    <br>
    I hope this helps,<br>
    <br>
    Olivier<br>

          <br>
          No response so far from anyone. I remind you that whilst
          EURALO ALAC members have full responsibility of their own
          vote, the EURALO Chair needs to cast a directed vote. This
          direction will be received from a vote of all EURALO At-Large
          Structures (ALSes). A way to interact with the candidates
          before the vote takes place is therefore important.
          <br>
          So I repeat the question again: how do you want to interact
          with the candidates?<br>
          - Single Issue Call?<br>
          - WIKI Q &amp; A?<br>
          - other suggestions?<br>
