Several comments: - I was not proposing a formal change to the RoP document at this time - such a change requires a quite complicated procedure. Since the proposal is not changing anything that is already in the RoP, the ALAC can implement the proposal by a simple decision process. Of course, it should later be incorporated into the RoP). - The change that Tijani is proposing would require a formal change of the RoP because it changes existing provisions (19.9.1 ... RALOs have an opportunity to suggest adding candidates to that list... and 19.9.3 Candidates will be added only if they receive support ... of at least three of the five RALOs...) - I am not sure what the real problem is that it is fixing, that is so urgent as to require a change in the middle of the selection process. - We had MUCH discussion about the RALO additional candidate process and the current procedure was put in place quite deliberately. The proposal would limit the number of candidates added by RALOs to 1, something that I personally might be able to support, but a very significant change from what the ABSdt designed with the approval of At-Large.

Good morning,
I do support the modification proposed by Alan. In the meantime, and since we will change the RoP, I propose to add a restriction for the number of candidates added by RALOs on the slate: Each RALO can not support more than 1 candidate to be added on the slate. The reason of such modification is to avoid to have 5 additionnal candidates who failed the evaluation process, and who are proposed to be added.
