useful if LACRALO’s Regional Leadership election schedule could be synchronized
with that of the other RALOs and the ALAC. Doing so would allow the NomCom to
know which ALAC and RALO leaders will be in elected leadership position in time
to take this into account in selecting NomCom positions. It would also allow
