Length of the First Term There has been significant discussion within At-Large regarding the very short length of the first term, specifically the 6-month term proceeding the first regular term. I do not believe that this requires any explicit action of the Board or modification of these Bylaws, as I believe that it is within the power of the ALAC to decide that the first selection process will identify the person who will serve both the first (6-month) term as well as the following first regular term. There is a precedent to this in how the ccNSO filled their first Board seat. Yes, right, in case nobody claims to apply the bylaws and organize a new selection for a new director. If all the At-Large community agrees on the continuation of the first director for the regular term, your proposal will work as it worked for the ccNSO. I think that the majority of the At-Large people involved, or who expressed themselves on this particular issue wanted it clearly mentioned in the bylaws, not arranged internally by ALAC. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Message d'origine----- De : alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Alan Greenberg Envoyé : lundi 16 août 2010 03:09 À : ALAC Working List Objet : [ALAC] Comments on the At-Large Director Bylaw revisions I posted some comments on the Bylaw revisions today.
