I would double-check with General Counsel. While the one you point out is a general rule, there is still the possibility of changing the Liaison during the year. As a matter of fact, John Klensin (IETF Liaison) stepped down in June 2005, and was replaced immediately, while Sharil (GAC Liaison) stepped down in March 2007, while his successor had been appointed already since Sao Paulo and there has been a three months overlap. The only case where strict rules are enforced is the TLG Liaison, but this is because there is a rotation among ETSI, ITU and W3C, and they serve one year each. Regards, Roberto

Oops I just read the bylaws again. They are clear that "the non-voting liaisons shall serve terms that begin at the conclusion of each annual meeting. At least one month before the commencement of each annual meeting, each body entitled to appoint a non-voting liaison shall give the Secretary of ICANN written notice of its appointment." So that we HAVE to have the Board liason chosen at least 1 month before the annual meeting. What we can possibly do is have the ALAC elections at the meeting BEFORE the annual meeting? But then it's the outgoing ALAC that will choose the new positions, and the new members will nto have a chance to participate. Unless we separate the Board liason position from the rest? Jacqueline

This makes sense to me as well. It puts a bit of work onto the 2 Board liaisons to interact, and doesn't let the new Liaison have the first Board meeting f2f, but rather via telecom, but we aren't going to choose a Board liason who doesn't know the Board members, so that isn't too much of a burden.

Sorry, rather late, but I miss the point of this debate. If ALAC's liaison to the Board is selected at AGM (or any other time for that matter), the old liaison can do the job for the following six weeks required(suggested) by the by laws while the new one gets ready on the sidelines. Siavash

"Wagging the dog" implies that there is a bigger, hidden issue behind, so... what do you mean?
The idea that the rest of the ICANN community should adopt its schedule to ALAC's whim. Having the appointments somewhat in synch is beneficial for all.
