I also nominate Edmon Chung for the position of IDN Policy Liaison. Best regards, Rinalia On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 8:58 AM, Cheryl Langdon-Orr <langdonorr@gmail.com>wrote:
I currently serve, and have done since October 2010 as the ALAC Liaison to the ccNSO Council, and *if* a Member of the ALAC wished to nominate me *and* I was privileged to be selected, Please note that I would be most willing to serve in this capacity for a FINAL YEAR of appointment whilst training up and handing over to other suitable person(s) to be considered next year. So yes I would be also seeking an 'apprentice or two' to work with.

*Relevant Rules from the ALAC Rules of Procedure: *
RULE 4 - ELECTION OF LIAISONS
4.1 Liaisons to ICANN's Advisory Committees, Supporting Organizations and Constituencies can be established by approval of the Committee; in
that case, they will follow the rules established for the appointment and functioning of the GNSO Liaison
4.2 **Refers to *The Board Liaison*, and is therefore not relevant here, and will be redacted from the revised ALAC ROPs*
4.3 The election can take place by electronic mail, online balloting, written balloting, or any other means deemed convenient and accurate
4.4 All liaisons serve for a term of one year starting from the closure of an Annual General Meeting and ending at the closure of the following
Annual General Meeting.
4.5 Liaisons shall be freely chosen by the ALAC, according to the following criteria:
4.6 They shall normally be persons who are current or former members of the ALAC, or are anyway familiar with the activities and functioning of
ICANN and of the ALAC;
4.7 They shall accept to serve on behalf of the At-Large Community by acting for the good of the entire Committee, working to bridge
differences and build consensus, but also recognizing difference and enabling different opinions to be shared;
4.8 They shall accept, while acting in their capacity as an ALAC representative, to put the collective views of the ALAC, always, in front of their own.
RULE 5 - QUALIFICATION CRITERIA FOR LIAISONS
5.1 There is no requirement for a Liaison to be a member of the At-Large Advisory Committee;*
5.2 A conflict of interest statement must be filed;
5.3 A person may not serve two different liaison positions at the same time;
5.4 All liaisons can be removed before the end of their term by a vote of recall according to rule 11;
5.5 All liaisons have a duty of performing their roles with diligence and loyalty to the Committee, and are bound to meet the minimum
participation requirements set forth in Rule 21. In case of failure to do so, the Chair shall call a vote of recall.
The mission and responsibilities of each Liaison of the ALAC are:
5.6 To participate diligently in the meetings and activities of the body he/she is liaison to;
5.7 To communicate and advocate the positions of the ALAC to such body;
5.8 To report to the ALAC the current and upcoming activities of the body he/she is liaison to, as far as this is possible under the timing
and confidentiality constraints of such *body;*
5.9 When this is possible under such constraints, ask to the ALAC for advance instructions on matters that are going to be discussed by such body.
RULE 6 - PRIVILEGES OF LIAISONS
6.1 All liaisons have the same rights of access to information, mailing lists and documents *as the ordinary ALAC members.*
*PLEASE NOTE:* With the exception of the ALAC ByLaw-mandated liaisons to the GNSO and the ccNSO, there is no assured travel finding for ALAC Liaisons to attend
ICANN Meetings unless they are serving ALAC members. Therefore, assurances that they can still perform their role will be required.
