Wolf, My understanding is that EURALO encouraged Avri to become a candidate. I know Avri had it in mind to be a candidate before we asked her, but I think we initiated contact in offering support. If I am correct and this is the case, then it would seem reasonable to ask if anyone objects to EURALO supporting a petition to have Avri added to the slate. Make sense? Also need to be clear that petitioning to have someone on a slate does not mean a promise to vote for them. Decisions on voting should be based on full consideration of the candidates, any discussions we may have with them etc. We are simply trying to give ourselves the best options in selecting the best candidate.

Thanks Wolfgang, Patrick and Olivier for your suggestions. Besides the questions raised by Olivier regarding EURALO's position at the next ABSdt call on Monday/tomorrow, I would like to know whether our or some of our members want us to launch a petition to get Avri Doria back on the BCEC voting slate? To make this happen, we would need the support of two more RALOs at least. If we want to start such a petition, we have to prepare this immediately/during the next days!
Thanks for your advice and kind regards, Wolf

Hello Wolfgang,
Le 31/10/2010 21:30, "Kleinwächter, Wolfgang" a écrit :
I am in favour of ther extension. However my more critical question is whether the three listed candiodates are final or whether we can add one namne (Avria in this case)?
The ALAC Internal Rules of Procedure state:
27.6 Final Candidate List Following the publication of the BCEC slate of candidates, RALOs have an opportunity to add candidates to that list. Candidates shall only be added if they had previously submitted a SoI to the BCEC during the current selection process, and if they receive the support through formal action of at least three of the five RALOs.
Reference: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2950983/AL-2007-1-1-Rev11+A...
It would therefore be possible for EURALO to initiate such a process, called "petition".
I see also a problem with Sebastian. He was selected by the NomCom for a two year period as ALAC member. When he leaves ALAC and will become a votong ICANn director, his European ALAC seat remains empty for the rest of his period because EURALO has no right to send somebody else to replace him. This can be done only by the NomCom and the 2011 NomCom has no European slot to fill.
I don't see this as a problem. The 2010 NomCom has selected him and would still be in place until the end of Cartagena. My interpretation is that if Sébastien Bachollet was selected to become an ICANN Board Director, he would relinquish the position on ALAC. My memory fades me, but isn't there an "alternate" for every position filled by NomCom 2010?
Kind regards,
Olivier
