The Staff had recommended the following by email to the region on 3rd September 2008:
"The AFRALO instruments do not contain specific provisions governing the election process. It is therefore suggested that the following election process shall be adopted :
* The regional Secretariat will make a call for election no later than seven weeks before the start of the annual ICANN meeting (14 September 2008) * Nominations shall be accepted for two weeks after the Secretariat calls for nominations (until 28 September 2008) * The nominees need to accept their nomination no later than seven days after the nomination period ends (05 October 2008) * The election shall begin no later than one week after the end of the acceptance deadline (12 October 2008) and end not later than two weeks before the start of the annual ICANN meeting. (19 October 2008). In other words, votes would actually be cast between 12 to 19 October 2008. "
I have no objection to this procedure, I think it is a very reasonable one, thanks for suggesting it! -- Cheers, McTim mctim.blogspot.com
