OK under Rule 10 of the ROP's you find the following which covers this point ( amongst others) and I have sent to this list previously a copy of the ROP's (on 13/10/2007) which can also be found on the ALAC Wiki Web site -> link off the home page to the Working Groups page, then select the ALAC Sub- Committee -> Rules of Procedure SC, then the file is found via a link at the top of that page... Excerpts from ADOPTED ROP's for ALAC. 10.10 In case no candidate could be elected for any other reason (lack of valid nominations, lack of five valid preferences...), the Chair will immediately post a new "election call", thus reopening nominations. The procedure will then restart from rule 9.6 So to help with the rules we now operate in, being made clear *to everyone* here is a copy of the section (Rule 9) that is also relevant to what we have done so far, and what we need to do between now and the ALAC voting. Pleased note also that Candidates as referred to in Rule 9 (as listed in the original Election Call) are the Officers of the ALAC and the Liaisons of the ALAC (other than the ALAC ICANN Board Liaison which requires earlier election processing see Rule 4.2 The Board Liaison, is normally elected at the ICANN Meeting preceding the Annual General Meeting )... All other appointments are just that appointments and the mechanism for such is covered in Rule 7 of the ROP's so volunteers who have made themselves available to this list will be considered in the affirmation - reaffirmation process we need to undertake at the AGM in LA and following on from that as required. CLO RULE -9 PROCEDURES FOR THE PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATURES 9.1 No earlier than one calendar month and no later than three weeks before the beginning of an ICANN Meeting where an ALAC officer has to be elected, the current Chair of the ALAC will send to the public ALAC list an "election call" message, listing the officers that are to be elected at that ICANN Meeting, asking for nominations, and stating the deadline according to the following paragraph 9.2. 9.2 The deadline for nominations for all open officer positions shall be 14 (fourteen) days after the date of the "election call". Only delegates can nominate or self-nominate, by posting a message to the public ALAC list. Anyone who will or has a chance to meet eligibility requirements after the next ICANN Annual General Meeting can be nominated; it is not necessary for nominees to meet eligibility requirements at the moment of the nomination, but, if elected, they will have to meet them before taking their position. Nominations of individuals who certainly will not be able to meet the eligibility requirements after the closure of the next Annual General Meeting are invalid. 9.3 Nominations must be accepted by the nominee by sending a message of acceptance to the public ALAC list (or to the person who nominated them, who will then forward it to the public ALAC list, if they do not have posting privileges to the public ALAC list at the time) by the deadline of 7 (seven) days after the deadline for nominations. Nominations that are not accepted are invalid. 9.4 After the deadline for nomination acceptance and before the beginning of the ICANN Meeting, the Chair will post to the public ALAC list an "election summary" message. This message will contain a summary of all valid nominations for any open position. In such message, the Chair will also notify the day and time in which the actual vote will happen; such day and time must be comprised between the beginning and the closure of the ICANN Meeting, except when the Meeting is also the Annual General Meeting. In this latter case, the day and time of the vote must be comprised in the first 48 (forty-eight) hours after the closure of the Annual General Meeting; thus, the electorate will include the delegates whose term starts at the closure of that Annual General Meeting, and will not include the former ALAC members whose term ends at the closure of that Annual General Meeting. 9.5 Nominations shall then be discussed on the public ALAC list and at the physical ALAC meetings during the ICANN Meeting. 9.6 At the day and time of the vote, delegates will be provided (by staff or delegated disinterested third party) with a mechanism for voting that meets the following requirements: o It allows for each delegate to cast their vote in a confidential manner, so that no other delegate or officer shall know it; o It allows for delegates who are not physically present to cast their vote remotely (also in advance of the day and time of the vote, if they are unavailable at that moment o Each delegate can cast up to one preference for each open position, picking among the list of validly nominated individuals published at rule 9.4. Votes for other individuals are considered equivalent to abstention.
