Sebastien, I passed this by all ALAC members and there were quite a
number of explicit supports and no objections.
Moreover, this has selectively been the process followed since the new
Rules of Procedure were approved which explicitly allows for such a
process. The issue was well discussed at the time the RoP were being
revised and it was generally felt (perhaps unanimously - cannot recall)
that continuity in these crucial positions, and the relationship formed
between the Liaison and the target body was a major concern.
Regarding the timing, as far as I can recall, Liaisons have always been
selected by the outgoing ALAC. That goes as far back as 2006 when I was
first selected as Liaison to the GNSO by the outgoing ALAC (when I recall
you were an ALAC Member).
The issue will be on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting and the ALAC can
decide the way forward.

Hello,
Disclamer
I am not member of ALAC.
My point of view is in no way link with the people – all four I trust
very much and I thanks them to take the time and to be willing to do it
another year.
I am not candidat to any of those position.
But I want to express my deep concern.
I disagree both with the process and the timing.
Accountability and transparency must be at the heart of ALAC (and
At-Large).
To keep the same people again and again with no possibility for other (at
least) to be candidate is not the best way to be inclusive.
We need to have an open process.
It must be a decision of the « new » ALAC seated at the end of the AGM in
Dublin.
All the best

Objet : [ALAC] Liaison appointments for 2015-16
- Our current ALAC-appointed Liaisons are:
- GNSO: Olivier Crepin-Leblond
- ccNSO: Maureen Hilyard
- SSAC: Julie Hammer
- .mobi: Murray McKercher
- According to ALAC RoP 18.2, "By the decision of the ALAC, a
current Appointee who is willing to continue in that role may be
reconfirmed instead of initiating a new selection process."
- Following consultation with ALAC Members, I conclude that there is
widespread agreement that we extend the appointment of all four Liaisons
for the coming year.
- I will be asking that the ALAC make a formal decision on this at the
ALAC meeting on Tuesday.
- If you will not be able to attend the meeting, please arrange with
another ALAC member to vote on your behalf, and notify At-Large Staff of
this arrangement. You may either instruct the proxy-holder how to vote,
or you may allow them to vote as they wish (
