I think that the matter is slightly more complex. We probably need to distinguish two cases: the election of the ALAC members and the election of ALAC officers. ALAC is the only AC that has the two levels, and it would not be completely out of order that this peculiarity be reflected in the election timeframe. I don't take a position in this debate, I don't know if it is best to do the elections before (Thomas) or during (Vittorio) the AGM, but I only want to point out that you probably want to have the officers elected by the incoming ALAC, not the expiring one. If this is the case, you need necessarily to separate the election of the ALAC members, keeping also in mind that 2 or 3 are coming out not from the regions but from the NomCom, that has its own schedule, from the election of the officers, that must be done when the new members have already taken their seat. For the Board, for instance, new members are known with sufficient advance notice to be able to travel to the AGM location, but the election of the officers (and the composition of the Board Committees) is done only after the new Board is empowered. Cheers, Roberto

I'd respectfully suggest that you stop wagging the dog with this.
"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.
