[NA-Discuss] Election for NARALO ALAC Representative

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Nick and all,

  Seems that the rules of proceedure link needs some work as
it is not accessable.
See:
 https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi/NA-2007-1-4%20NA%20RALO%20Rules%20of%20Procedure%20-%20EN.pdf?action=attachments_download;page_name=ralo_organizing_documents;id=20080815134251-0-12378

  Please make the appropriate corrections...
