Nominations for APRALO Leadership roles term July 1 2013 to 30 June 2015 currently open...
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr May 1, 2013

May 1, 2013

Dear list as you all know we currently have open an election process for some leadership positions in our RALO (this Election cycle was opened during the Beijing meeting at our GA on April 9th)... I note that at this stage no nominations have yet been received and therefore wish to formally propose the following Nominations for the open positions:- For *APRALO Chair*: *Holly RAICHE* => position is currently held by Holly. Noting Holly 'stepped up' from her Vice Chair position to complete the term of Charles Monk when he entered a Government role as an elected official, and whose current term ends on 30 June 2013; Further noting that she is eligible for re-election... if appointed her new term starts 1 July 2013 and ends 30 June 2015. For *APRALO Vice Chair* (one of 2 selected for 2 year terms in alternate years): *YJ Park *=> this position is currently held by YJ and the current term ends on 30 June 2013. Noting that YJ was appointed to complete the term of Vice Chair that Holly held and which opened when she become Chair of APRALO, and also noting that YJ is eligible for re-election ... if appointed like Holly her new term starts 1 July 2013 and ends 30 June 2015. NOTE ALSO: APRALO Secretariat: Currently held by the Internet Society - Hong Kong (Edmon Chung and Pavan Budhrani). According to the APRALO Organizing Documents, the Secretariat position is “appointed”. Current term end on 30 June 2013. Re-affirmation of appointment has been our good practice and so to continue, should occur prior to 30 June 2013., and indeed could happen either on-list or preferably formally as a motion as an Agenda item at our June Meeting and I propose that there is no change in this current appointment of our Secretariat arrangement and that the Internet Society of Hong Kong continue in this role at this time... and advise the list that I am happy to 'Put such a Motion' to the June APRALO Meeting. -- Cheryl Langdon-Orr (ISOC-AU Chapter ALS). *Cheryl Langdon-Orr ... **(CLO)* http://about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr
