Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] VOTE RESULTS: ALAC Voting Delegates to the NomCom for 2013/Delegados del ALAC votantes ante el NomCom 2013
Dear All, I have read the explanation of the 2012 Nomcom vote results and I realise this unique situation has never happened before. Rule 10 of our ALAC RoP (https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Rules+of+Procedure) covers the election of ALAC officers which is done by Instant Runoff Voting which was how the Nomcom vote was being conducted (allbeit with only 2 candidates). Here are the key sections from Rule 10 ( https://community.icann.org/x/rLbbAQ ): 10.4 Instant-runoff voting (IRV) will be used as the voting system to determine the winner. (ref - Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting ) 10.5 Voters rank ALL candidates in order of preference. 10.6 If no candidate receives an overall majority of first preferences the candidates with fewest votes are eliminated one by one, and their votes transferred according to their second and third preferences (and so on), until one candidate achieves a majority. 10.10 If two or more candidates receive the same, highest number of preferences, a runoff election is to be conducted. 10.10.1 The Chair will select a new date and time for the runoff election, at least 7 (seven) days after the previous vote has concluded. in this vote, only the candidates that received the same, highest number of preferences will be eligible. The Chair will then immediately send a new “election summary” message according to rule 9.4, and the procedure will then restart from rule 9.5 As per Rule 10.6 and the Wikipedia reference to preference voting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting#Process), preferential voting works when there are 3 or more candidates. With two candidates, both having equal number of first preference votes, there is no candidate with the fewest first preference votes to eliminate and to distribute their votes according to their 2nd preference as per Rule 10.6 Unfortunately, the online system allowed ALAC members to select one preference in contravention of Rule 10.5 which states that ALL candidates must be ranked. Had ALAC members fulfilled their obligations by ranking all candidates and indicating their second preference, then the results would also be the same as the first preference as there were only two candidates. Thus, as per rule 10.10, since two or more candidates have receive the same, highest number of preferences, the ALAC should conduct a runoff election.

Dear All,
In the ALAC vote to appoint At-Large Delegates to the 2013 NomCom, the results for the Delegate from the Latin American and Caribbean Islands Region are:
For the first preference candidate: • 6 votes were cast for Jacqueline Morris • 6 votes were cast for Vanda Scartezini • There was one abstention.
For the second preference candidate: • 1 vote was cast for Jacqueline Morris • 3 votes were cast for Vanda Scartezini
As such, for the first preference candidate, an exact tie occurred and no immediate preferential candidate was selected. For the secondary preference candidate, Vanda Scartezini is declared the winner given that she received a higher number of votes.
Vanda Scartezini is appointed to the position of ALAC Voting Delegate to the NomCom for 2013 from the Latin American and Caribbean Islands Region.
