Dear Amrita and Gunela, Please allow me to point out, however unfortunate, that the deadline for nominations for the present selection process was *29 April 2022* as was announced on 19 April 2022 <https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/apac-discuss/2022-April/005818.htm...> . I also believe there is a miscommunication somewhere around the VC vacancy resulting from Lianna's resignation. The APRALO Rules of Procedure clause 5.7 applies in this situation as it says, "*5.7 If a vacancy occurs, a replacement for the remainder of the term shall be selected at an extraordinary meeting.*" which in my opinion, falls outside of the present selection process.

I'll simply say that that was a very amateurish and and funny act. Azhar ------- Original Message ------- On Wednesday, May 4th, 2022 at 5:48 PM, Justine Chew via APAC-Discuss <apac-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> wrote:

Thanks Amrita, I believe for public interest and community fairness, any nomination should only start once the ALAC & RALO chairs officially announced the opening of this position and staff send dates and timeline for each step. As far as I know this was the practice we all followed in the past and we should keep it that way to be more organized. Regards Sent from my iPhone

Dear Ali You are entirely true, and I am astonished that a senior community member like Amrita is committing such an unjust behavior against the public interest and becoming unfair to the community, as well as why Gunela is so hasty to accept it. Any nomination should commence only once the ALAC & RALO chairs have publicly announced the opening of position, and staff communicate dates and timetables for each stage, as has been the customary practice in the past, and we should continue to do so. Shouldn't the ALAC and RALO chair eliminate them from nominating and contesting in the future when such an announcement is made to be fair to community members and to guarantee that no one in the community conducts such an act on their behalf?

There seems to be a bit of miscommunication between the leadership team and the staff. There was supposed to be a formal call for the second VC position once it was decided that the position was going to become vacant. I have noticed that the position has been open on the election page but no formal announcement has been made. However as it is already on the election programme, it is a natural assumption that it can be filled. There is no other notice otherwise. I believe that the nomination has been made on the understanding that the opening was made late, however nominee acceptances close on May 6. No change appears to have been made about any other changes in these other election dates. Staff will need to confirm these new dates. I hope this provides some clarification of the misunderstanding until the staff addresses the confusion.
