[At-Large] [ALAC] ELECTION CALL for ALAC Officers to serve from 22 October 2012 to ICANN AGM 2013

[sandra hoferichter]

I am agains rotation just for the seek of rotation. It is good to reelect after a short period, to have a possibility to replace an insufficient officer, but if the performance of a committee is as excellent as of the one we have, I see no reason to replace anyone, if all are willing to continue. 

I made some experiences in another international organisation, where a 'one year to lead' rule causes difficulties in sustainability.  

Best Sandra
