Rightly pointed out and my bad with this small screen. I was viewing the message on the run. Didn't mean to comment on the ALT. I was referring to future ALAC selections so my message should be ignored as a confusion. I support your nominations as an observer.

Dear Fouad,

thanks for your kind reply. I think there may be a confusion somehow. The ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) can by definition only be composed of people who are serving on the ALAC during the year of appointment. Kind regards,

Olivier

I believe that new people should be inducted instead of encouraging the usual faces to continue otherwise this becomes a family business or tightly knitted teams that are not democratic.

Secondly people from developing regions in RALOs should be encouraged to nominate for these seats that have yet not received the opportunity to serve on ALAC positions. Sorry to say, APRALO should encourage new APRALO faces in ALAC.

For those that want to stay glued to these positions for years should develop the courage to move to other roles in the ICANN community.

I would like to forward my nomination under APRALO and contest the seat on the grounds of bringing a fresher and developing country perspective. I'll fulfil the necessary requirements as outlined.

Best

Fouad

Dear all,

Though I am not an ALAC member, I would like to fully support Olivier's nominations. All five candidates, including Alan, are very professional and dedicated people and deserve to represent us as our leadership team.

Hello all,

I hereby nominate the following ALAC members for the 2016 ALAC Leadership Team:

Africa (AFRALO): Tijani Ben Jemaa (Vice Chair) Asia, Australasia and Pacific Islands (APRALO): Holly Raiche Europe (EURALO): Sandra Hoferichter Latin American and Caribbean Islands (LACRALO): Leon Sanchez (Vice Chair)

Tijani's been an excellent Vice Chair in recent years and is a real power-drive in Africa both for ICANN but also in Internet Governance. Holly has been an excellent ALT member in recent years, as well as a driver of WHOIS related work. Sandra has been at the root of ICANN's learning programs, like the Leadership Training Program and this needs to be at the heart of the ALT when discussing expansion of the programs. Leon has shown his excellence in being a co-chair of the CCWG Accountability and would make an excellent Vice Chair of the ALAC.

Warmest regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond

Dear All,

Please see below the call for nominations for members of the 2016 ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) sent on behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC.

===========================================

ALAC LEADERSHIP TEAM

Now that it is confirmed that the ALAC Chair, Alan Greenberg, will continue for another term, he has requested that a call for nominations be issued for the other four members of the ALAC Leadership team (ALT) from the four remaining regions:

- Africa

- Asia, Australasia and Pacific Islands

- Europe

- Latin America and Caribbean Islands

The ALAC Rules of Procedure call for up to two Vice-Chairs, at the discretion of the incoming ALAC Chair, and Alan has indicated that he would prefer two Vice-Chairs as was the case during the past year.

Nominations are now open for individuals to serve as the two Vice-Chairs of the ALAC and the two non-titled ALT positions. 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 Dublin ICANN Meeting.

Requirements for ALT members can be found in Section 6 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2013-04).

Nominations will close on Saturday, 17 October 2015 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 <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>.

Staff will forward all acceptances to ALAC-Announce@atlarge-lists.icann.rog<mailto:ALAC-Announce@atlarge-lists.icann.rog

...

.

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, an secret vote of the ALAC will decide the winner.

If the resultant ALT includes two members nominated to be Vice-Chairs, those two will serve in those positions. If there are less than two or more than two nominated as Vice-Chairs, the ALAC Chair will decide who will occupy the Vice-Chair positions.

Regards,

Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew
