Hi Robert As part of the move to be more transparent (new rules of procedure for the ALAC – on the wiki) – that’s why the nominations are to the public list – there’s time for discussion on the list and so on, and then the ALAC votes on the candidates for Board via online process immediately after the San Juan meeting (actually in the rules of procedure it’s after the meeting BEFORE the AGM at which the new Board Liason is to be seated) so we have the name in time – 30 days before the AGM according to the Bylaws. Other officers get voted for at the AGM. Regional ALAC members are chosen according to the relevant RALO rules of procedure, to be seated at the close of the AGM. NomCom works as normal – they do their process for the new ALAC members to be seated at the close of the AGM.

Alan: Thanks for the comments on the process and request of information from the candidates. My concern is that the process, in as much as possible - be as open and transparent as possible. Comments should, i think not only come from the candidates - but from all those involved in at-large. Key positions, should - wherever possible be subject to comment, consultation, and an open and transparent process. Not sure if nominations/decisions have been done that way in the past. If they haven't, then we should change them. we have the occasion now , so let's try.. No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
