The RALOs are now asked to consider whether any of the applicants who submitted EOIs but were not selected by the BCEC should be added to the final slate of candidates. In order to be added to the final slate, an applicant must be supported by three RALOs. The deadline for support from other RALOs for additional candidates is Friday, 21 February 2014. Please see the relevant text of the ALAC ROPs below: 19.9 Final Candidate List 19.9.1 -Following the publication of the BCEC slate of candidates, RALOs have an opportunity to suggest adding candidates to that list.
