Re: [ALAC] [lac-discuss-en] Replacement Elector For Leon Sánchez
by Carlton Samuels Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

I add my support for Fatima to replace Leon as elector for the Board member election. Notwithstanding my support here, the rule that makes the RALO the determining voice for the vote of a NomCom appointed ALAC member is hopelessly flawed. Maybe it was unintentional but this impugns the independence of the member. The unfettered independence of the NomCom appointed ALAC member is a major objective of that process and is meant to insulate that person from regional passions. That independence is especially valuable when that is an elector for the Board member. should not be conscripted. -Carlton Samuels ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= >

Call for Nominations - ALT Member from EU
by Alan Greenberg Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

As you know, Veronica Cretu has resigned her position on the ALAC and EURALO has now announced that her position is being filled by Bastiaan Goslings. Veronica was also the EU member of the ALAC Leadership Team (ALT). At the time of her resignation, it was agreed that we would not refill her ALT position until we had the full complement of three EU ALAC Members who are eligible to fill this position. As per to the ALAC Rules of Procedure (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09) 17.4.2, we are obliged to formally open a Call For Nominations for this vacancy. I have been informed that the three ALAC Members have already come to an agreement as to who will sit on the ALT. Accordingly, I am opening a Call for Nominations for the EU ALT seat. Eligible candidates are Sébastien Bachollet, Bastiaan Goslings and Andrei Kolesnikov. Only ALAC Members are eligible to make nominations. The Call for Nominations will end on Friday, 24 February 2017 at 23:59 UTC. Alan Greenberg Chair, ALAC

Was: [At-Large] Unsubscribe me please
by Alan Greenberg Feb. 20, 2017

Feb. 20, 2017

[I've moved this discussion to the ALAC list.] Yes, we can put it on the agenda if there is a general wish. And of course be cursed because we choose to talk about process... This is definitely not the first time we have had the discussion, and it is not still with us because we chose to drop it, but it a really difficult one. We are continuously torn between too wide a distribution of something that in truth, not many want to receive, and the need to be open, transparent and seeking input from all and sundry. As a small example, our rules require that messages related to ALAC officer selections go to ALAC-Announce, a list including all ALS representatives, a host of other people who have self-subscribed and probably other who I am not aware of. The messages also got to the ALAC list. None of the people on the Announce list (who are not also on the ALAC list) can nominate or vote in the selection. But we send it out because we are open and transparent. If we didn't, we would no doubt be accused of working under a dark, secretive shroud. The problem seems to have arisen at this point because of the coincidence of two events: 1. The distribution of a pointer to Board Candidate Q&A responses sent by staff to the RALO lists, the At-Large list and the ALAC-Announce list causing many people to get three copies. 2. The recent completion of a project to collect accurate e-mail addresses for ALS primary and secondary contacts, resulting in all of those who were "new" to us being subscribed to various lists, apparently (this I am not sure of) without informing them that it was happening and why. Several years ago I did a massive correlation of our various lists to try to see if any lists were largely subsets or supersets of others to eliminate multiple messages being received. The summary result was that there was no pattern. There are people on the RALO lists who were not on the At-Large list, and there were people on the At-Large list who were not on any RALO list. Similarly for the ALAC-Announce list. I could go on, but you probably get the picture.
