[NA-Discuss] Nomination period open for interim NARALO rep to ALAC

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear Evan and all:

One correction: All ALAC Members' terms are aligned with the ICANN AGMs, therefore, whomever is elected to fill the vacancy has a term which ends at the close of the ICANN AGM of 2009, which will be in Seoul, South Korea from 25-30 October.

Hello all,

As many of you may have read, this morning Robert Guerra sent a message
to the global At-Large mailing list announcing his resignation from the
position of NARALO representative to ALAC. As a result, we have a
vacancy that requires filling.

At the NARALO conference call this past Monday, I indicated to the group
that Robert had emailed me with his intent to step down; in anticipation
of that action we agreed upon a replacement procedure that would be both
expedient and reasonably transparent. This is because Robert's 2-year
term expires this June and the position will be up for election in May
anyway. The person appointed now will be expected to participate in ALAC
activities starting immediately upon appointment, attend the ICANN
meeting in Mexico as part of ALAC rather than the Summit (the two
schedules are not identical) as well as the ICANN meeting to be held
June in Sydney. (Travel expenses will be covered.)

According to the process decided on Monday, I will be accepting
nominations for the vacancy up until the end of Sunday (January 18).
Self-nominations are acceptable; you do not need a seconder and should
submit your nomination to me directly by email. I will obviously not be
standing for nomination myself.

If I receive no nominations by Sunday I will start actively soliciting
people until I get one willing to serve.

If I receive one nomination by Sunday I will immediately appoint that
person to serve the vacancy.

If I receive more than one nomination by Sunday I will request the
nominees to produce a brief (500 words or less) summary of why they they
should be selected. Those summaries should be circulated on this mailing
list. By Friday Jan 23 I will start polling NARALO members to determine
a consensus selection, and appoint that person to the position. If there
is no clear consensus I will appoint the person I believe to have
attracted the most support. I myself will only participate in the
selection process in order to resolve a lack of consensus.

- Evan
