Re: [ALAC] Modification of statement submitted regarding At-Large Director Bylaws
The process is already very complicated due to the setup that has been adopted by At-Large. Once a person is not on the slate, there is no reason that they cannot be re-enfranchised. I am not sure how any voting can be neutral, as by its very definition it requires people (or organizations if RALO's direct votes) to make very personal decisions. And whether such a person will be replaced in the interim is not at all clear. Although I have suggested such a mechanism in my initial comments, they were not part of the proposed Bylaw revision for all voters. Alan At 25/08/2010 10:03 PM, Hong Xue wrote:

SHOULD A PERSON SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION NOT BE LISTED ON THE PUBLISHED FINAL SLATE OF CANDIDATES, THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION NO LONGER APPLY.

Hi, a last comment. See the quoted part below, which says "until the selection process has been completed." I wonder why such a person who is not chosen by BCEC in the final slate of candidates (rather than voluntarily withdrawal of the SoI) should be able to "resume" back to participate discussion or voting. Well if the resumption is okay with everyone, okay go ahead. "If such a person submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the person shall not, following such submission, participate in any discussion of, or vote by the At-Large Advisory Committee, RALO chairs or any of the constituent At-Large Advisory Committee sub-committees relating to the selection of the person to hold Board Seat 15 until the selection process has been completed."
