The relevant provision from the bylaws is included below. Since its inception, the ALAC has not established membership requirements for liaisons it appoints to the Board, the SO Councils, or other entities and, in the past, the ALAC has appointed both ALAC members and non-ALAC members to liaison positions. Let me know if you have any further questions. Denise Denise Michel Vice President, Policy Development ICANN denise.michel@icann.org e. The ALAC shall annually appoint one non-voting liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors, without limitation on re-appointment, and shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI) to the Nominating Committee.
