All, Indeed it is unfortunate that Robert had or is for personal reasons resigning. I believe it would be advantageous for all of the ALAC self appointed leadership to resign accordingly as they cannot legitimately represent the user community as they were not chosen or elected by the user community in the first place, and as such seemingly are in violation of the MOU.

Dear Community:
The Chair of the ALAC has requested that the At-Large Staff notify you that Robert Guerra has resigned his office as Vice-Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee for personal reasons.
The ALAC wishes to convey its thanks for his work in this position until his resignation. Robert remains an elected Member of the ALAC from North America and the representative of At-Large to the Security and Stability Advisory Committee.
This situation is provided for in Rule 9.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the ALAC as adopted in October 2007:
³If for any reason whatsoever (including lack of quorum, lack or loss of eligibility requirements, resignation, or recall) an officer position becomes vacant before the end of the term, the Chair will promptly start an election to fill it, by sending an ³election call² message and starting the procedure from rule 9.1²
In conformity with Rule 9.1 an election call message from the Chair will be forthcoming, which will provide the relevant details of the process to elect a replacement co-Vice-Chair.
