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

[Evan Leibovitch]

Hello all,

In accordance with the process approved at last week's NARALO conference 
call. Upon receipt of Robert Guerra's resignation from his position of 
NARALO rep to ALAC I put out a call for nominations with a closing 
deadline of the end of Sunday (yesterday).

By the end of that day I have received a number of questions regarding 
the position, and a clarification from Nick regarding the term of this 
interim position. However, I have received only a single nomination, 
from Gareth Shearman.

The nomination period is now closed. In accordance with the procedures 
outlined and agreed to last week, since only one nomination was received 
before the deadline it is my intention to notify the Chair of ALAC and 
ICANN staff that Gareth will be serving the remainder of Robert's term 
as the NARALO representative to ALAC, effective January 21. The purpose 
of the two-day delay is to offer a forum for any objections to the 
execution of the procedure as agreed to at last week's NARALO 
teleconference.

I want to thank Gareth for his offer of service, congratulate him on his 
pending appointment, and wish him all the best in the role he be about 
to take on. I have no doubt whatsoever of his qualification and 
suitability for the role.

I also wish to thank the members of NARALO for enabling a selection 
process that I believed to be expedient yet fair and transparent. And I 
also want to thank Robert for the service he has provided us as the 
NARALO representative until now.
