[NA-Discuss] Ramping up for the election - General Procedures

[Alan Greenberg]

Actually, according to the NARALO operating procedures, the process 
is a bit more formal than that.

Regarding the selection of the unaffiliated rep, the procedures also 
cover that, and as one of the final acts as this year's rep, I will 
oversee the process.

As a reminder to anyone who is interested, to be an unaffiliated 
member of NARALO, one must submit a Statement of Interest indicating 
that he/she meet the following criteria:

- be subscribed to the NA-Discuss list;
- be a permanent resident of one of the countries/territories in the 
North American region as defined by ICANN;
- not be a member of a certified ALS.

Such an unaffiliated membership continues until or unless one of the 
criteria is fails to be satisfied (ie leaves the list, ceases to be a 
resident of NA, or is a member of an organization that is or becomes 
a NARALO ALS).

I note that membership in ISOC Canada, which has just become an ALS, 
is an example of a reason for losing unaffiliated status.
