Dear Silvia,Hope this meets you well?Please help to have this document circulated to the ALAC-REGIONAL LEADERS Mailing list for their information.I hope this will equally generate interest for discussion as there appears to be a common trend amongst all the leaders at the Regional Levels to perpetuate themselves in office and representations in ICANN to the disadvantage of the whole group. We shall continue to have this discussed and debated in AFRALO to move it forward.Thanking you for your assistanceBest Pastor Peters Osawaru OMORAGBON, Treasurer, Central Association of Nigerians in the UK-CANUK Executive President/CEO-Nurses Across the Borders Inc.(USA & NIGERIA) President, Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria- DNAN International Liaison Officer, Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association-UK (NNCA-UK General Secretary, Civil Society Network on Climate Change in Nigeria Fellow-Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers- ICANNFellow-Open Society Institute, BudapestDesignated Focal Person-United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change- UNFCCC in NigeriaBoard Member, Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGO Member, Steering Committee, Regional Committee for Africa-Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGOTel: +441438729726, +234-8052658024,Email: nursesacrosstheborders(a)yahoo.com, petersomoragbon2(a)yahoo.co.uk, www.nursesacrosstheborders.org

LACRALO has had a 1-term limit for RALO-appointed ALAC members ever since their rules were written. The only exception was those members seated prior to the rules being written (they were limited to one term following the adoption of the rules - that is, the rule was not made retroactive). NARALO has a 2-term limit, but if someone serves a partial term due to a resignation or other vacancy, the partial term may or may not count as a term depending on how long it is).

To clarify the facts, the ALAC Rules of Procedure has no term limits for ALAC Members. Some RALOs limit the number of consecutive terms (I think to either 1 term or 2 terms) and some have no limits.
