Just on 1 point, my comment below:
In response to Oksana's suggestion that ALS *representatives* should be able to be an ALS *representative* in another region, this is forbidden in the ALAC bylaws for a reason to make sure there might not be a possibility of manipulation/capture. It is 99.9% sure that this cannot change because any change to this rule would need approval from the ALAC and approval from the Board and I don't see this happening ever.
Of course, there is no rule against being a simple member of several ALSes. I am a member of 3 ALSes in 3 different regions; some are members of more than 3, in different or in the same region, it doesn't matter.
(WL) I explained this point in length and details already by making clear that we can be *simple members* of different ALSes inside and outside a region BUT we can NOT be *representatives* of more than one ALS (inside or outside a region), as you confirmed Olivier. And I repeatedly noted that we (at RALO level) cannot change this rule. IF anybody is still unhappy with this binding ALAC rule, the person can try to convince ALAC about a respective change of their Bylaws! This was my very last comment on this point.
I agree with Wolf and Olivier that it will be very difficult to change the bylaws on this point. But besides the difficulty and complexity, what would be the *real* need for such change? Honestly, I believe that our aim should be to include more and more people, and electing the same representative as a leader for multiple ALSes, whether in the same or different region, is going in the opposite direction. We should favour more individuals to get leadership responsibilities in ALAC, not have the same set of people speaking in name of more ALSes. So, I am personally against this proposal, not for the complexity of the change, but because it will move us in the wrong direction. Cheers, R.
