Announcement of Upcoming Liaison Election Call
by At Large Staff July 20, 2009

July 20, 2009

La version française est en dessous / La versión en español está por debajo. Dear All, The ALAC Chair has asked At-Large staff to advise the At-Large regions that she will be sending out two election calls shortly. The first election call will be for that of Board Liaison. This call will be followed three weeks later by a second election call for the other liaison positions (GNSO, ccNSO, NCUC, SSAC, IDN issues) and the ALAC appointment to the dotMobi Policy Advisory Board. For the position of Board Liaison, based on discussions between the ALAC and members of the Structural Improvements Committee and the ALAC Review Committee and whilst remaining within the current Rules of Procedure (ROPs) regarding an ALAC Election process, it is planned that in addition to the traditional nomination process previously conducted, the ALAC will explore the effectiveness of the different processes used to create a pool of candidates for potential use in future election calls. Thus, this election call will serve as a trial-run of the type of process that may be utilized for election calls for candidates to become Voting Members to the ICANN Board. Once the ALAC Chair has sent the official 'Election Call' for the very important Board Liaison election, each Region will be requested to forward the names of nominees that have been endorsed by the RALOs and their member ALSes to the public At-Large list within 14 days of the candidates' 'registration' as required by the ALAC ROPs. Nominees should be of the highest possible stature and possess exceptional capabilities, energy, and enthusiasm so as to effectively contribute to the future development of the ALAC. With this notice, the ALAC Chair wishes to heighten awareness within the Regions of the imminent election call so that the Regions may begin the necessary discussions for the process by which they wish to create a pool of candidates. ALAC strongly encourages and desires a wide, global pool of candidates for these positions. Regards, _____________________________________________ Chers amis, La présidente du comité consultatif At-Large a demandé au personnel d'At-Large d'informer toutes les régions At-Large qu'elle lancerait prochainement deux appels d’élection. Le premier appel d’élection concernera le chargé de liaison auprès du Conseil d'administration. Cet appel sera suivi trois semaines plus tard par un deuxième appel d’élection pour pourvoir les autres postes de chargés de liaison (organisation de soutien aux politiques des noms génériques – GNSO, organisation de soutien aux politiques de codes de pays – ccNSO, regroupement des utilisateurs non commerciaux – NCUC, comité consultatif pour la sécurité et la stabilité – SSAC, problématiques IDN) et la nomination de l’ALAC au conseil consultatif sur les politiques dotMobi. Pour la position de chargé de liaison auprès du Conseil d’administration et selon les discussions entre l’ALAC et des membres du comité pour les améliorations structurelles et du comité de revue de l’ALAC tout en respectant les règles de procédure (ROP) actuelles concernant le processus d’élection de l’ALAC, il est prévu, qu’en plus du processus de nomination traditionnel précédemment suivi, l’ALAC examine l’efficacité des divers processus utilisés pour créer une réserve de candidats pour un usage éventuel dans le cadre d’appels d’élection futurs. Ainsi, cet appel d’élection servira en tant qu'essai du type de processus qui pourrait être utilisé pour les appels d'élection de candidats qui deviendraient des membres votants du Conseil d'administration de l'ICANN. Une fois que la présidente de l’ALAC aura lancé l’appel d’élection officiel pour l’élection très importante du chargé de liaison auprès du Conseil d’administration, il sera demandé à chaque région de transmettre les noms de candidats approuvés par les organisations At-Large régionales (RALO) et leurs structures At-Large membres (ALS) pour inclusion dans la liste publique At-Large dans les 14 jours à compter de l’enregistrement des candidats, tel que requis par les ROP de l’ALAC. Les candidats désignés devraient jouir de la plus haute réputation et posséder des capacités exceptionnelles, un dynamisme et un enthousiasme qui leur permettra de contribuer de manière optimale au développement futur de l'ALAC. Par cet avis, la présidente de l’ALAC souhaite rendre les régions plus conscientes de l’appel d’élection imminent afin qu’elles puissent entamer les débats nécessaires portant sur le processus qu'elles souhaiteraient adopter pour créer une réserve de candidats. L’ALAC encourage et souhaite fortement la création d'une vaste réserve mondiale de candidats à ces positions. Cordialement, ______________________________________________ Estimados: El Presidente del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) ha solicitado al personal At-Large que asesore a las regiones At-Large acerca de dos elecciones que estará convocando en breve. La primera elección será para la posición de Responsable de Relaciones con la Junta Directiva –posición también denominada Coordinador, Enlace o simplemente Liaison–. Tres semanas después de dicha convocatoria habrá una segunda convocatoria a elección para las otras posiciones de Responsable de Relaciones (Organización de Apoyo para Nombres de Dominio ―GNSO―, Organización de Apoyo para Nombres de Dominio con Código de País ―ccNSO―, Unidad Constitutiva de Usuarios No Comerciales ―NCUC―, Comité Asesor de Seguridad y Estabilidad ―SSAC― y cuestiones de los Nombres de Dominio Internacionalizados ―IDN―) y la nominación del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) para la Junta Asesora de Políticas (PBA) de la compañía dotMobi. Sobre la base de las conversaciones entre el Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC), miembros del Comité de Mejoras Estructurales y el Comité de Revisión del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) ―y al mismo tiempo que permaneciendo dentro de las Reglas de Procedimiento (ROPs) actuales en relación con un proceso electoral del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC)―, está previsto que, para la posición de Responsable de Relaciones con la Junta Directiva y en forma adicional al tradicional proceso de nominación anteriormente realizado, el Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) estudiará la eficacia de los distintos procesos utilizados para crear un grupo de candidatos, para su posible uso en futuras convocatorias electorales. Por lo tanto, esta convocatoria a elección servirá como una prueba del tipo de gestión que puede ser utilizada para las convocatorias electorales en las cuales los candidatos se convierten en Miembros Vocales de la Junta Directiva de la Corporación para la Asignación de Números y Nombres en Internet (ICANN). Una vez que el Presidente del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) haya enviado la “Convocatoria Electoral” oficial para la muy importante elección del Responsable de Relaciones con la Junta Directiva, se solicitará a cada región que transmita los nombres de los candidatos que han sido respaldados por las Organizaciones Regionales At-Large (RALOs) y sus correspondientes Estructuras At-Large (ALSes) a la lista pública de At-Large, dentro de los 14 días a partir de la “registración” de los candidatos conforme a las Reglas de Procedimiento del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC ROPs). Los nominados deben ser del más alto prestigio y poseer capacidades excepcionales, energía y entusiasmo, a fin de contribuir eficazmente a la evolución futura del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC). Con este anuncio, el Presidente del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) desea aumentar la conciencia dentro de las Regiones respecto a la inminente convocatoria electoral, para que las Regiones puedan comenzar los debates necesarios para el proceso por el cual deseen crear un grupo de candidatos. El Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) y alienta enfáticamente ―y desea― un grupo amplio e internacionalizado de candidatos, para estas posiciones. Atentamente, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

The workshops proposed are *List of Workshops* http://isocmadras.blogspot.com/2009/06/isoc-chennai-igf-workshop-proposals.… Openness 323.
