Cordialment,

Dear all,

To follow up on the message sent to you on Tuesday, I kindly remind you to submit your available dates to the Doodle calendar. Given the fact that there are only a few days left until the next regularly scheduled AFRALO teleconference and in order to make sure we will have interpretation in French and English, I suggest that we keep the initial date for this meeting:

Wednesday September 3rd 1300 UTC.

Please fill out the Doodle calendar in the meantime, so that we can discuss the scheduling of following teleconferences next Wednesday. Remember to FLAG ALL boxes that work for you and not only the ones you prefer. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a suitable date for everybody. Please remember that the suggested slots refer to the first weekdays of each month. Thank you.

Dear Didier: Thanks for this, however, it doesn't make clear how the region wishes to conduct the elections, how long the nomination period is for, how long the vote will be open, or the other elements that are required.

Thanks for the comment re: the process - and yes, the open position is for a two-year term. We are preparing a note for all the regions related to their secretariat and officer positions similar to that for the ALAC positions as in many RALOs these positions are also up for election.

This looks good to me, thanks :) I also believe that we have agreed that this will be for a 2 year term.

Dear Nick, Thanks for this useful information and proposed dates . Didier, this election should be done earlier as the current African ALAC representative had passed the term period which has been stated when elected in ICANN lisbon meeting where AFRALO elected 2 ALAC Representative and an AfRALO Secretariat . The AFRALO secretariat should plan this earlier and make sure seat terms not exceed agreed terms, as we need new bloods in AfRALO. It will be great if our secretariat could check other RALOs if they have an accountability framework for ALAC representative, which we can adopt in the future its important to use it to keep activity .
