Two parts to the answer. First, I nominated him, but he has not accepted, so I cannot say anything about what he wants to do. Second, I can find nothing in our Rules that prohibit someone acting as an Officer and a Liaison at the same time. The rules do prohibit a person serving in two Liaison positions at the same time, and also from serving in two officer positions at the same time. But unless I missed something, they are silent on serving as a Liaison and Officer at the same time. I explicitly commented on the new ROP separating the definition of Officers and Liaison in my comments on the draft ROP. The earlier draft that Vittorio had done described both Liaison and Chair/Vice Chair as officers. Alan At 09/10/2007 11:44 PM, Cheryl Langdon-Orr wrote:

Clarification please... Does this mean he now wishes to withdraw from the SSAC Liaison role?

Sorry for misinterpreting. He was at a conference yesterday and either still is or is en route home. Either way I assume we will hear from him shortly. At 10/10/2007 01:34 AM, you wrote:

Thank you for your clarification Alan... I was not questioning the validity of acting in both capacities, under our ROP's; Rather asking if he was able to confirm that he was: 1. intending to offer to undertake the two roles, OR was it 2. an 'either / or' situation, and or 3. if SSAC nominations need to be actively pursued from another candidate(s) if he no longer wished to undertake that role...

If you are unaware of Roberts' likely hood of accepting the Vice Chair nomination or not, I will hold those questions until he confirms one way or the other... the retransmit as required...

Robert there is nothing in the ROP's (this is part of the version aspects prepared by yourself for the subcommittee) that stops any one being an Officer and an Liaison (unlike the original Draft document from Vittorio). Alan raised this during our review process and again yesterday on list ... and for everyone's information the new ROP's state that Officers i.e. Chair, Vice Chairs (n=2) and Rapporteur MUST be serving ALAC Members at the time of the election, but Liaisons (where we reached consensus that being able to draw from a wider group including past members of the ALAC AND the Community at large- thereby giving us *greater diversity* was the rationale for this change and it was as you no doubt remember also contested in the proposal for edit on the ROP's put forward by Sébastien before San Juan)... And allowing Liaisons who were past ALAC members, such as Wendy to serve in such key roles on our behalf. Other Appointments by the way require the same eligibility criteria as Liaisons as well but are not subject to the formal election process. So holding concurrent positions as an Officer and a Liaison is quite valid. As to effectively working as both, and operating on behalf of the ALAC to the best of any individuals ability, when we have so much to do this next 12 months and what time demands that would make- Only you can know, and the voters decide. If you wish to serve as both and *not* wish to relinquish SSAC where there is no contest for you to continue in the role and therefore certainty maintaining the position, then we need to know ASAP as our deadline (Oct 14), rapidly approaches for the close of these nominations, and someone else may indeed be interested in contesting the role of SSAC (as well as any other position)...

My preference is to still continue as SSAC liaison as I find involvement and engagement with then to be most rewarding. Should it be possible to concurrently also be one of the vice-chairs, then i'd accept. However, if I can only hold one of the positions - then my preference would be SSAC. So do I accept Alan's nomination - well, let me defer .. I first require clarification on the status of holding more then one position. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra@privaterra.ca> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377 On 10-Oct-07, at 12:42 AM, Alan Greenberg wrote:
