I would suggest that anyone who accepts a nomination for Chair should provide and Expression of Interest explaining why they believe they will seerve the ALAC and At-Large well in this position, and what/how they would like to accomplish. And anything else they believe is relevant.

My current term as an ALAC Member expires at the end of the AGM in October of this year, as does my term as ALAC Chair. I have previously said that I would not be a candidate for Chair of the ALAC for the coming year and in fact I am not a candidate for an ALAC seat.
When the issue was discussed in San Juan, there was a general consensus within the ALAC that the position should be opened sooner rather than later, but not before the selection of RALO-appointed ALAC members was complete.
The roster of 2018-2019 ALAC Members is now complete, with the exception of the NomCom appointees from North America and Europe. ALAC Rules of Procedure (RoP - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09) 5.2 states
*"A person nominated to be Chair does not need to be an ALAC Member at the time of nomination but must have an expectation of being an ALAC Member after the next ALAC Annual General Meeting...". *The 13 known Members on next year's ALAC are (in alphabetic order of region and given name):
AF: Hadia Elminiawi, Seun Ojedeji, Tijani Ben Jemaa AP: Holly Raiche, Kaili Kan, Maureen Hilyard EU: Bastiaan Goslings, Sébastien Bachollet LAC: Bartlett Morgan, Humberto Carrasco, Ricardo Holmquist NA: John Laprise, Marita Moll
Current NomCom appointees to the ALAC from EU and NA are Andrei Kolesnikov and Javier Rúa-Jovet.
*With this message, nominations, including self-nominations are now being accepted. In accordance with the ALAC RoP, this Call for Nominations will remain open for no less than 14 days and will end at 23:59 on Monday, 18 June 2018. ONLY CURRENT ALAC MEMBERS MAY MAKE NOMINATIONS. Nominations must be sent to the ALAC list. *Messages accepting or declining nominations must be sent to the ALAC list no later than 7 days after the close of nominations.
If there is more than one candidate, there will be an opportunity during the ICANN meeting in Panama to talk to the candidates and an election will be held during the meeting. The winner must receive votes from the majority of sitting ALAC Members. The ALAC RoP Section 17.2 details the election procedure and how to proceed in the case of a variety of unusual conditions.
Alan Greenberg Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee
