Cheryl, with so many things going on related to the selection process, perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. My added suggestion was to the comment on the proposed Bylaw amendments that I submitted (on my own behalf, although later supported by a number of ALAC and RALO people). It is not directly linked to our Rule of Procedure 27 and requires no action by the ALAC. Alan At 25/08/2010 08:45 PM, Cheryl Langdon-Orr wrote:

Thanks for this Alan, and indeed it would be possible to make this as an additional amendment but if ALAC wishes to do so I would encourage that to happen 'post haste'... So how does the ALAC wish to proceed ?

Shall we discuss this amendment to the new Rule 27 of the RoP's for the ALAC here on this list => say for the next 7 days and then subject to final wording (or not) based on that discussion take amended text to an online confirmation vote to run for 5 days after that? so close on 7th Sept?

Specifically, under my wording, if a person (for example, and ALAC member) submits a SoI to the BCEC, that person can no longer participate in the selection process or vote. That would be true even if that person was eliminated from the slate and not one of the final candidates.

I suggest the following change with the new wording in upper case:

No person who serves in any capacity (including as a liaison) on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, shall simultaneously serve as a Director or liaison to the Board. 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. In the event that a person serving on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the RALO for the region that the person represents may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. In the event that a person is serving as a Liaison to the At-Large Advisory Committee, the group or entity that selected the person may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. 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.

I understand that it is too late for this new wording to be included in the formal comments, but should my overall comment to this section be acted upon, the new addition will remove a possible disenfranchisement.
