>>
>> Current Board is here: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board

>> ALAC members running for the Board may NOT vote in the election. This means
>> a proxy voter must be selected  and affirmed by a vote under rule #

>> The vote is a requirement, but how the alternate voters are selected is not
>> defined.
>>
>> Two of our ALAC members: Alan Greenberg and Evan Leibovitch, are both
>> running for seat #15 so we need TWO replacement voters from NARALO.
>>
>> Since I am the Chair and I am already voting. I cannot have second vote.
>>
>> These are some of my sugestions for selecting alternative voters:
>>
>> 1. Assign the votes to our two other leadership positions: Louis Houle
>> (NOMCOM) and Glenn McKnight (Secretary)
>>
>> 2. Select two (2) alternate voting candidates though a VOTE from ALL of the
>> NARALO ALS operators, excluding the ALAC reps and NARALO Chair - affirm two
>> alternates by vote.
>>
>> 3. Select two (2) alternate voting candidates RANDOMLY from ALL of the
>> NARALO ALS operators, excluding the ALAC reps and NARALO Chair - affirm two
>> alternates by vote.
>>
>> I will entertain other suggestions.
>>
>> To be clear, there are several "votes" involved here:
>>
>> A) Potential vote for method of selecting alternative seat #15 voters (vote
>> not required, can be done through consensus)
>> B) An official vote for two (2) alternate seat #15 voters (ALL ALS
>> representatives vote in this process)
>> C) A vote for the Board seat #15 representative (Voting by Eduardo Diaz -
>> ALAC, Garth Bruen - Chair, Alternate #1, Alternate #2)
>>
>>
>> There are many who would prefer that we select a Board representative
>> through a vote by ALL ALSes or ALL At-Large particiapants, but that is a
>> separate discussion.

>> Thanks, Garth
