Dear Colleagues,

As noted during the APRALO call on 26 October 2010, the BCEC released the final slate of candidates for the Board Director position (see full announcement: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac-announce/2010q4/000685.html).

The current time-line for the Board Director selected by the ALAC/At-Large Community is:

· 28 October: BCEC to announce slate of 3 candidates and SOI details; · 28 October - 12 November: Campaigning period, including community call for candidate debate, and RALO discussions on candidates; · 15-19 November: RALO discussions on candidates continue and ALAC and RALO chairs vote for At-Large Director; · 10 December: Successful candidate takes seat on ICANN Board.

APRALO, in line with the above-mentioned tight schedule, now commences the regional consultation officially.

Please note the following steps and measures:

a) Candidates/applicants' campaign

A slate of 3 candidates and 19 other applicants may campaign to our Community to seek support. We note that Not all the campaigners have the posting rights on the APRALO list.

APRALO, in order to ensure their equal opportunity for campaigning, kindly asks all campaigners to send their statements or messages to the Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org>, who will then forward to the list till the end of campaigning period, 12 November 2010.

b) RALOs' petition for additional candidate(s)

Petitioned applicant(s) can be added to the slate by a formal request of at least three RALOs. APRALO will launch an online VOTING to let all the ALSes to decide whether to petition for any applicant or applicants out of the BCEC's slate to be a candidate or candidates. Please note that even if APRALO decides to petition for any applicant, the petition may not be successful if no other two RALOs support the motion.

Since APRALO, if decides to petition for any one, must consult at least other two RALOs for joint action, the VOTE must be completed timely to allow for cross-RALO consultation. Voting period is tentatively set from 5 November to 12 November 2010.
