Apologies from Emani
by Maureen Hilyard March 18, 2014

March 18, 2014

Siranush and team Emani has had to make a distress call about not being able to away from his home at this time because of critical family issues. He will be missed at the meeting because he was integral at so many levels. He sends his sincere apologies. He will put the video onto a dropbox so that we can access this. I will check what is happening about the lanyards. He was going to present his ALS at the APRALO meeting but we may have to ask if anyone could do a last minute presentation in Singapore in his stead. An email out today could get someone who might be able to do this. If I wasn't so pressed I'd do PICISOC - especially as I would have three other Board members in Singapore - it would have been four if Emani had been able to come, but it wouldn't be flash because it would be rushed. Please check with others in case they can step in. I'll be in touch as soon as I hear anything else. Maureen (off the island now so emails will be sent via gmail, although I can still receive from oyster)

Apologies from Emani
by Siranush Vardanyan March 18, 2014

March 18, 2014

It is really very sad news that Emani will not be able to make Singapore. My prays are with him and his family and I know everything will be just good. Can't be otherwise. As for video, Cheryl, you are right, that is the video where we all say "hello", so, Emani will put it in dropbox (that was how we last time viewed the start) and staff will help us to make it work during the showcase. As for the APRALO monthly meeting, where Emani supposed to have a presentation, I think we have a lot to do that morning, so, we will not do the spotlight presentation for this meeting and will ask Emani to present it during the next APRALO monthly meeting in April. Maureen, if you contact Emani, please, send our moral support to him and ask him let us know if we can be somehow helpful.

Delegation of my vote as APRALO Acting Chair
by Siranush Vardanyan March 17, 2014

March 17, 2014

Dear At-Large Staff and APRALO Community, Please note that for the purpose of casting the vote of the APRALO Chair in the upcoming selection of the Seat #15 Member of the ICANN Board by At-Large, the APRALO Regional Leadership has agreed that I will delegate the role of casting our vote to the Regional Secretary Pavan Budhrani. This is necessary because even though as Acting Chair the vote comes to me, I served along with Ellen Strickland, on the Regions behalf in the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) and the ALAC Rules regarding the selection of this Board Seat state in Paragraph 19.5 "No member of the electorate (Paragraph 19.10) may simultaneously serve as a member of the BCEC". I thank Pavan for accepting this delegated authority under these unique circumstances that we find ourselves in, and would thank staff to ensure that he receives the required voting credentials for the APRALO.Sincerely,Siranush SIRANUSH VARDANYANAPRALO ACTING CHAIR

Dear At-Large Staff and APRALO Community, The 24 hours given for the launched consensus call passed. I would like to announce officially that during this period we received NO ANY OBJECTION from our AP community members. Thus with this e-mail I would like to announce that APRALO conducted a formal vote of the RALO as per ALAC Rules of Procedure. The result is: for the purpose of casting the vote of the APRALO Chair in the upcoming selection of the Seat #15 Member of the ICANN Board by At-Large, I delegate the role of casting our vote to the Regional Secretary Pavan Budhrani. With this e-mail I also notify ICANN At-Large Staff and Tijani Ben Jemaa who is the Chair of the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) about our RALO;s final decision. I would like to thank all of you for your cooperation under these strict circumstances. Best Siranush Siranush VardanyanAPRALO Acting Chair.

by At-Large Staff March 15, 2014

March 15, 2014

Dear All, Tijani Ben Jemaa, Chair of the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) 2014, has asked that the first round of vote for the selection of the Board Director selected by At-Large (Seat #15) be held to reduce the number of Candidates from five (5) to three (3) only. ***** Question: Please rank all 5 candidates (listed in alphabetical order of surname) from the most preferred to the least preferred (1 is the most preferred and 5 is the least preferred). * Rinalia Abdul Rahim * Sébastien Bachollet * Alan Greenberg * Evan Leibovitch * Jean-Jacques Subrenat ***** * Please note that the poll for VOTE ROUND 1 will be open from 16-March-2014 00:00 UTC to 17-March-2014 23:59 UTC: > * Once open, electorates will receive Vote Credentials that contain links to > BigPulse, the online platform to cast your vote. > * Staff will send reminders, as well as call electorates who haven¹t voted > before the poll closes. * VOTE ROUND 1 will be a Preferential Instant Run-off: The three (3) candidates with the lowest scores (i.e. most preferred) are selected for VOTE ROUND 2. * If two candidates are distinctly placed 4th and 5th with the two highest scores (i.e. least preferred), VOTE ROUND 1 will be completed. * VOTE ROUND 1 will continue if a tie occurs. A tie means: a) 2 or more candidates have the same score for the 3rd place; b) 3 or more candidates have the same score for the 2nd place; c) 4 or more candidates have the same score for the 1st place; or d) The 5 candidates have the exact same score (which is very unlikely).

Once open, electorates will receive Vote > Credentials. > * TIE-BREAKING VOTE will also be a Preferential Instant Run-off. > * If the tie is broken, VOTE ROUND 1 will be completed. > * If a tie still exists, a in-person draw will take place in Singapore to > break the tie on 23-March-2014 01:15-01:45 UTC (09:15-09:45 SGT). VOTE ROUND 1 > will be then completed. * After the completion of VOTE ROUND 1, VOTE ROUND 2 will start at 23-March-2014 09:15 UTC (17:15 SGT). Electorates will receive instructions soon. * For information about the candidates, including the community call and Q&A with the candidates, please see https://community.icann.org/x/0CDRAg <https://community.icann.org/x/0CDRAg> . * To convert time, please visit http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html> . * If you have questions about the VOTE ROUND 1 procedure and/or need assistance with BigPulse, please contact At-Large Staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org <applewebdata://68497759-1B04-4F9B-84B7-B9445B8F305F/Regards,%20Heidi%20Ullr ich,%20Silvia%20Vivanco,%20Matt%20Ashtiani,%20Ariel%20Liang,%20Gisella%20Gru ber,%20Nathalie%20Peregrine%20and%20Julia%20Charvolen%20ICANN%20Policy%20Sta ff%20in%20support%20of%20ALACmailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> .
