Modification of statement submitted regarding At-Large Director Bylaws
by Alan Greenberg Aug. 26, 2010

Aug. 26, 2010

During a discussion on some of the details of the selection process on the ALAC list, I realized that there was a problem with my suggested wording for ARTICLE VI, Section 4(2). Specifically, under my wording, if a person (for example, and ALAC member) submits a SoI to the BCEC, that person can no longer participate in the selection process or vote. That would be true even if that person was eliminated from the slate and not one of the final candidates. I suggest the following change with the new wording in upper case: No person who serves in any capacity (including as a liaison) on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, shall simultaneously serve as a Director or liaison to the Board. If such a person submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the person shall not, following such submission, participate in any discussion of, or vote by the At-Large Advisory Committee, RALO chairs or any of the constituent At-Large Advisory Committee sub-committees relating to the selection of the person to hold Board Seat 15 until the selection process has been completed. In the event that a person serving on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the RALO for the region that the person represents may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. In the event that a person is serving as a Liaison to the At-Large Advisory Committee, the group or entity that selected the person may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. SHOULD A PERSON SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION NOT BE LISTED ON THE PUBLISHED FINAL SLATE OF CANDIDATES, THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION NO LONGER APPLY. I understand that it is too late for this new wording to be included in the formal comments, but should my overall comment to this section be acted upon, the new addition will remove a possible disenfranchisement.

The process is already very complicated due to the setup that has been adopted by At-Large. Once a person is not on the slate, there is no reason that they cannot be re-enfranchised. I am not sure how any voting can be neutral, as by its very definition it requires people (or organizations if RALO's direct votes) to make very personal decisions. And whether such a person will be replaced in the interim is not at all clear. Although I have suggested such a mechanism in my initial comments, they were not part of the proposed Bylaw revision for all voters.

HMMM perhaps I can blame the ridiculous number of meetings for ICANN in the last 56 hrs but I have started a discussion when apparently none is called for => I do apologize... Alan informs me that he is not suggesting this as a change to our new Rule 27 (I read it that way Sorry Alan), but rather that his message was " ... augmenting my comment on Bylaws, which were submitted on my own behalf and not ratified (or whatever) by ALAC. New change is to those and not Rule 27." Again my apologies.

Cheryl, with so many things going on related to the selection process, perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. My added suggestion was to the comment on the proposed Bylaw amendments that I submitted (on my own behalf, although later supported by a number of ALAC and RALO people). It is not directly linked to our Rule of Procedure 27 and requires no action by the ALAC.
