Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
6 volunteers are needed to participate in this process: 2 for the
BMSPC + an alternate (total of 3) and 2 for the BCEC + an alternate
(3 more for a total of 6). <br>
<br>
These are important groups plus another way to directly contribute
to ALAC. I encourage your participation.<br>
<br>
Please send me a note off-list if interested.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<b>The RALO leadership is requested to send a list of their
RALO's supported candidates and alternates for each group
to the Chair of the ALAC and staff by 23:59 UTC Tuesday,
</b></span><b>23<span style="color:black"> August 2019.<br>
</span></b><span style="color:black"><br>
The ALAC will name the final membership soon after.<br>
<br>
The details of the two groups are:<br>
<br>
<b>1) Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC)</b><br>
<br>
According to Article 19.2 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure:<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 plus a chair selected by the ALAC. 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."<br>
<br>
The group is open to ALAC Members, At-Large community
members and to RALO Leaders. However, the membership should
include members of the community with significant experience
from previous Board Director selected by At-Large process.
English will be the working language of this group. The
workload of the BMSPC is not expected to be very heavy.<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. The RALO selection
may be done by any means thought appropriate by the RALO
leadership.<br>
<br>
Please note that no member of the 2019-2020 BMSPC may
submit an EoI for the position of the Board Director
selected by At-Large.</b><br>
<br>
The ALAC has selected Alan Greenberg as Chair of the BMSPC.
The first meeting of the BMSPC will be scheduled for early
September.<br>
<br>
<b>2) Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC)</b><br>
<br>
The 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
href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3
[icann.org]" moz-do-not-send="true"><span
style="color:#954F72">http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3
[icann.org]</span></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 2020) may not be BCEC members.</b></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Please note that experience on previous BCECs, on the

asset. The RALO selection methodology must ensure that
only suitably qualified candidates are put forward to the
ALAC by the RALO Chair.<br>

The ALAC has selected Yrjö Lansipuro as Chair of the BCEC.
