Dear All,

The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure Section 17 (RoP - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-07) call for the ALAC Chair to be elected for one year, but subject to certain conditions, may automatically be renewed for one additional year. As Alan Greenberg was elected to serve as Chair for 2014-15, and was automatically renewed for 2015-16, this year there must be a new election. for ALAC Chair for the 2016-2017 ICANN year.

The requirements and responsibilities of the Chair are listed in Section 5 of the RoP. The Chair must make a major time commitment in the order of 20-40 hours per week, and at times significantly more. Recent Chairs have regularly participated in all ALAC meetings, most ALAC Working Groups and Sub-Committee meetings, many RALO meetings as well as participated actively in ICANN policy Working Groups. ICANN meetings for Chairs are typically at least one day longer than for other ALAC Members.

Nominations are now open for individuals to serve as the Chair of the ALAC. Nominations may be made by any current ALAC Member. Nominees need not be an ALAC Member at the time of the nomination, but must have a reasonable expectation of being an ALAC Member after the completion of the upcoming Hyderabad ICANN Meeting.

Nominations will close on 31 August 2016 at 23:59 UTC.

Nominations need not be seconded, but it is an ALAC tradition that others may second the nomination as a show of agreement with the nomination.

Nominations other than self-nominations must be accepted within seven days after the close of nominations. Acceptance should be sent to the [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. Nominees without access to that list should send their acceptance to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

According to the ALAC RoP, following the nominations/acceptance period, a Selection Summary will be posted giving the details of the following process. The selection of the four other ALAC Leadership Team members will be initiated once the selection of the Chair is completed.

The At-Large ALAC and RALO Elections, Selections and Appointments - 2016 Workspace  <see https://community.icann.org/x/qzKAAw> has additional details and Staff will post all information related to this selection.

Kind regards,

Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine, Terri Agnew and Yeşim Nazlar
