Dear All, The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure (RoP - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2013-04) call for the ALAC Chair to be elected for one year, but subject to certain conditions, may automatically renewed for one additional year. As Olivier Crépin-Leblond was elected to serve as Chair for 2012-13, and was automatically renewed for 2013-14, this year there must be a new election. Nominations are now open for individuals to serve as the Chair of the ALAC. Nominations may be made by any 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 Los Angeles ICANN Meeting. Nominations will close on 03 September 2014 at 23:59 UTC. Nominations need not be seconded, but it is an ALAC tradition that others may second the nomination as a show of agreement with the nomination. Nominations other than self-nominations must be accepted within seven days after the close of nominations. Acceptance should be sent to the alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>. Nominees without access to that list should send their acceptance to staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>. According to the ALAC RoP, following the nominations/acceptance period, a Selection Summary will be posted giving the details of the following process. The selection of the four other ALAC Leadership Team members will be initiated once the selection of the Chair is completed. The At-Large ALAC and RALO Elections, Selections and Appointments - 2014 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Elections...> has additional details and Staff will post all information related to this selection. .
