Dear Members, This is a call for expressions of interest to handle the AfRALO secretariat role. According to our 'bylaws' the Secretary has to perform three tasks : * Maintain a list of authorized contact persons for each of the At Large Structures, and; * Manage the process of selecting all of the African representatives to the At Large Advisory Committee, and; * To the extent possible providing for the certification of new ALS and adding them as Members. At the first meeting of the AFRALO yesterday it was agreed that the expectations of the RALO for the secretariat are: * Make a timely call for Nominations for all RALO officers (3 month at least prior to election) * Encourage ALSs to provide nominees for the election * Manage the election process (either face to face or electronically) * Optional: Write a 6 monthly consolidated report of feedback from ALAC members (solicit input from ALAC members and ensure co- operation between all stakeholders including the ALSs) We welcome any expression of interest so please write to us with your motivation to afri-als@atlarge-lists.icann.org Sincerely, Alan ------------------------------------------ Alan Levin - Chairman Internet Society of South Africa
