We have views from 3 ALS' (Cheryl, Izumi, Me) thus far that sending all names for consideration is a good way forward. I would like to hear from at least another 3 or 4, so we have "rough consensus". Alternatively, I would like to hear objections to this. Izumi - just a minor correction to be pedantic. 2 candidates had process issues. I cannot see a process issue with Karaitiana. He self-nominated and had a seconder before the deadline. Regards, R. Izumi AIZU wrote:
In summary, I am OK with all THREE candidates, even though each seemed to have some minor process questions.
I agree with Siavash and also Cheryl that NomCom position is not "representative of ALS", thus Siavash is perfect for candidate from ALAC to NomCom.
If this NomCom members are also representative of RALO and hence from ALS, the very reason why we have NomCom becomes undermined. The intentionally setup NomCom outside the representation mechanism to keep sort of neutrality and wider governance in my understanding.
I also like to remind that the final body to recommend the NomCom members is ALAC, not RALOs, globaly. So APRAL can make recommendations to ALAC, but we are not in the postion to make the FINAL decision.
So, I woudl agree with Cheryl who just sent the list her suggestion to send all three candidates.
Thanks,

Colleagues,
The deadline for nominations has closed.
We have 3 candidates nominated thus far, summarised below.

**NOMINATED BY**
**ALS**
**NOMINATION DATE**

Out of the above 3 candidates, 2 were self-nominations (Nirmol and Karaitiana). Siavash has not indicated to the list that he has accepted the nomination.
At the Bali Meeting earlier this year, there was general consensus that APRALO roles and functions would be handled by members from within ALS'. If there was no interest from within ALS' then such roles and functions could be offered to persons outside the ALS'. In this instance we have 2 persons representing ALS' interested in the position, and 1 person nominated from outside the APRALO ALS'.
If we stick to the consensus agreed to in Bali, then our preference must be between Nirmol and Karaitiana.
I now seek your guidance on reaching consensus on our candidate nomination. The other options are to offer both candidates to ALAC and let them pick one, or we vote and decide. Note that we need to reach this decision by the end of this coming weekend.
I look forward to your input.
