Jonathan Zuck, as the ALAC Chair, will automatically take the NARALO ALT slot. This call is to appoint the ALT slots for the four remaining regions: • Africa • Asia Australasian and Pacific Islands • Europe • Latin America and Caribbean Islands The terms of the 2023-2024 ALT will begin at the end of the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) until the end of the 2024 AGM. This selection is carried out in accordance with the ALAC Rules of Procedure (ROPs) Section 17.3 ( ALAC Rules of Procedure<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2262672/ALAC%20RoP-Revision...> (Short URL https://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2022-08[tinyurl.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2022-08__;!!PtGJab4!8P0hFuEOcbFLI2NTPycJX0AA3YbO-_z2meTkbBxpoqgN882p9frd_EY1wLcodazIQyB1giJYAWQhHwM1Gch5atmiGXwez-9c$>)) Nominations may be made by any current ALAC Member. Nominees need not be an ALAC Member at the time of the nominations but must have an expectation of being an ALAC Member after the completion of the upcoming virtual ICANN78Meeting. Requirements for ALT members can be found in Section 6 of the ALAC RoPs. In short, ALT Members are expected to attend all ALAC meetings. Jonathan would also like ALT Members to attend the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group and the At-Large Operations, Finance and Budget Working Group meetings. ALT Members should be very responsive and thoughtful to e-mail requests and discussions. By mutual agreement, ALT members may take on additional roles. Vice-Chairs are expected to take on proportionally larger responsibilities. All ALT activities are carried out solely in English. Jonathan has indicated that he expects to continue the practice of having two Vice-Chairs. Nominations may (but are not required to) specify whether the preference is for a Vice-Chair or a regular ALT position. Nomination Schedule: • The nomination period is now open and will close on Thursday, 12 October 2023 at 23:59 UTC. • Nominations need not be seconded. • Nominations, other than self-nominations, must be accepted by Thursday, 19 October September 2023 at 23:59 UTC. • Nominations and acceptances should be sent to the ALAC list [alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>} • Staff will forward all acceptances to the ALAC-Announce list [ alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>] • In accordance with ALAC RoPs 16.3, following the close of the nomination period and the acceptance or rejection of all nominations, Candidates from regions where the position is not contested will be declared to have won by acclamation.
