I doubt - very much - that the General Counsel would agree that 3 people out of 15 electing a chair every few months is in conformity with the Bylaws - quite the contrary.

If the Committee decides to go with this type of structure I will of course ask.

Nick, thanks for point out the bylaw provision, but it doesn't change anything. The "procedure adopted by the Committee" would be that the three representatives from the host region elect a Chair.

Bret, an election for the Chair of ALAC isn't optional - see the ICANN Bylaws, Article XI,S2(4)(d):

"The Chair of the ALAC shall be elected by the members of the ALAC pursuant to procedures adopted by the Committee."
