*Subject: *Re: EURALO Petition to extend the At-Large voting slate

  Dear Cheryl,

If I have read the results correctly (in no particular order):

EURALO: Petition for Avri Doria and Jean Jacques Subrenat
APRALO: Petition for Avri Doria, Jean Jacques Subrenat and Danny Younger
AFRALO: No Petition
NARALO: No Petition
LACRALO: No Petition

As we all know, the rules for petition support are that 3 RALOs must support
a petition for the candidate to be included in the slate of candidates. This
is clearly not the case. In order for At Large Structures to be aware of the
results and prepare for the next stage of the process which is the actual
election, Staff needs to announce the above results ASAP.
Furthermore, I believe that it would show courtesy to the kind candidates
who have put themselves forward for Petition, to inform them that they have
been unsuccessful, but also thanking them for taking part in the process (or
something to that extend).

I believe that the process of petition has been very interesting in that
RALOs have pursued different paths to their result, and that there is a
clear diversity of views out there - which is, IMHO, exactly what At Large
is all about.

I have heard comments from several people following the process from a
distance, that the rules and processes for Petition weren't made clear by
the ABSdt. In my opinion, these rules and processes should NOT be made
clearer. The Petition process is an exceptional procedure, and if one uses
the analogy of a road, the Petition process being an unmapped country lane,
I think that it would be unwise to make it into a highway because this would
weaken the candidate path through the BCEC and the highway might be abused
in the future to bypass the BCEC's authoritative choices. We always have to
look-out for ways to capture the system.

Best regards,

Olivier

 Dear All,



As agreed by the ABSdt, petitions for additional At-Large Board Director
candidates will be accepted until Sunday.

Please notify, Cheryl Langdon Orr, the Chair of the BCEC (copied to this
message), by Sunday, 7 November at 2359 UTC whether your region is
supporting additions to the final slate of candidates released by the BCEC
on 29 October.

You can find details about the candidates and the selection process and
timeline under:

Heidi
