Within ALAC, we have moved to all other personnel-related vote being
secret. NARALO is not obliged to follow suit, but that is really the
question in my mind.
I would suggest that the rule be changed to say that in cases where
there are more candidates than slots, it is the call of the chair
whether to attempt consensus or go strain to a vote.
Would that work with everyone?
