Re: [ALAC] ELECTION CALL ALAC Officers, Liaisons and Appointments for 2009 - 2010
I accept the nomination for Vice-Chair. Although seconds are not required according to our rules, I think it is fine tradition and I support the nominations of Cheryl, Sebastien and Patrick. In addition, I nominate myself for the position of GNSO Liaison. I do this after due consideration and with just a bit of reluctance, but the following is my rationale: - The two roles combined will not exceed the workload that I was prepared to take on as Board Liaison; - I think that this year, with the restructured GNSO being seated in Seoul, having an ALAC Liaison understanding the history of how we got here, and the complex politics within the GNSO, is going to be extremely important; - I have established credibility with the majority of old GNSO Council members, and I believe that this has been critical to our overall perceived credibility in ICANN. Carrying this credibility to the new Council will be very valuable and I think that I am in a good position to do this. At the same time, it is imperative that we start getting more ALAC and At-Large people familiar with the GNSO and GNSO Council, and GNSO members familiar with them. I would suggest that active participation of ALAC and At-Large members in GNSO WGs is the key to this. Alan At 06/10/2009 01:13 AM, Sébastien Bachollet wrote:

*ELECTION CALL Nominations are currently open for:*
*- ALAC Liaison (other than the Board Liaison {finalised}); - ALAC Appointments (such as WHOIS AND IDN);* *- ALAC Officer Positions.*
Please refer to ROP's here http://tinyurl.com/levxyf which in brief state that:- - Only ALAC members serving after the Seoul meeting may be nominated for Officer positions. - Only current ALAC members may submit nominations. - Self nominations are allowed. - For Liaisons and Appointments there are no formal restrictions regarding ALAC membership, but the ROP's say "They shall normally be persons who are current or former members of the ALAC, or are anyway familiar with the activities and functioning of ICANN and of the ALAC." It should be noted that budget allocation for travel to ICANN Meetings is only assured for serving ALAC Members and therefore a non-ALAC Member Liaison or Appointment nominee should certify to the ALAC their ability to undertake all aspects of their job descriptions (including attendance at all three ICANN Meetings), without receiving travel support to do so.
*All nominations and acceptances etc., are to be sent to the public ALAC List* "ALAC Working List" <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>
All details and the repository for nominee details is found at https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_elections_2009
<https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_elections_2009> Relevant text from this page is copied below: <Start SNIP> * Other Liaison positions * The elections for ALAC Liaisons to the Bylaw mandated GNSO and ccNSO Councils as well as the SSAC, GNSO User House/NCSG/NCUC {subject to discussions at Seoul meeting and agreement from the receiving party} and the liaison appointments to IDN and WHOIS Policy Processes will be conducted through a single, global election process. The ALAC will vote on the list of candidates using the Instant Runoff Voting system< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting>, as provided in Rule 10.4 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure. This means they will rank each candidate, from most preferred to least preferred, using the electronic voting system regularly used for ALAC voting.
**Election timetable:* * During its August 4 meeting, the ALAC adopted timetable for the Liaison elections (now modified to allow call to occur after Board Liaison election is completed yet still fit with ROP's):
Nominations Open/Election Call Issued: 5th October Nominations Close: 19th October Acceptance of Nominations Due By: 26th October ALAC Voting Begins: 1 November ALAC Voting Concludes: At ALAC Chair's discretion, generally votes are held over a 5 or 7 day period
