Dear All, Maureen Hilyard, ALAC Chair, has requested that a call for nominations be issued for the other four members of the next year's ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) from the four remaining regions: - Africa - Europe - Latin America and Caribbean Islands - North America Maureen Hilyard, as ALAC Chair, will automatically take the APRALO ALT slot. The terms of the 2020-2021 ALT will begin at the end of the 2020 AGM until the end of the 2021 AGM. This selection is carried out in accordance with the ALAC Rules of Procedure Section 17.3 (RoPs - https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Rules+of+Procedure?preview=/2262...). 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 ICANN69 Meeting. 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, typically two ALT or ALT-related meetings per month, and 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. The nomination period is now open and will close on Monday, 5 October 2020 at 23:59 UTC. Nominations need not be seconded. Nominations, other than self-nominations, must be accepted by Monday, 12 October 2020 at 23:59 UTC. Nominations and acceptances should be sent to the ALAC List [alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org] Staff will forward all acceptances to [alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>]. In accordance with ALAC RoP 16.3, following the close of the nominations 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. If there are multiple candidates from any region, the candidates, in conjunction with the ALAC, will be given the opportunity to resolve the situation. Failing that, a secret vote of the ALAC will decide the winner.
