Dear Fouad, Thank you for your note. The announcement was sent to all APRALO members, and as it was noted, the positions are open. So, everyone can nominate/self-nominate themselves. My e-mail was stating that current incumbents are ready to serve another term, but nominations are more than welcomed. I think this is the most open and transparent way of opening the pool for nominations. Thanks SiranushAPRALO CHair

I believe the election process should be open whereby a call should be send out to all of APRALO membership to see if newer people are interested in the roles available. Given way and giving opportunity to new is also a key aspect of effective and good leadership.
I would recommend that the positions be continuously announced on the APRALO list and invite nominations and an election be carried out.

Dear AP members,
As you have seen in my previous e-mail (updates from our April call) and also from the e-mail from staff, currently The elections for APRALO leaders is open for nomination. You can view the space to see the nominations and eligibility for all. Nominations will be accepted up until 9 May.
This is to let you know as well that as part of nomination procedure each current leaders (Chair, Vice-Chair, ALAC Member, NomCom appointee) were asked individually if they are willing to continue and taking into consideration that they all are eligible for re-election, all of them have indicated that they are willing to stand again and are making themselves available for their current positions.
So, this will be noted in the wiki space by staff, that all current members indicated that they would like to continue.
Meanwhile, all other nominations are welcomed.
Best
Siranush
