Here's something from the NARALO List that is of moment and might be useful to LACRALO.

Attached is what the EURALO is proposing to do. Our current wording is: "When an ALS representative does not vote in 3 consecutive NARALO elections or does not contribute a comment on ICANN policy through collaboration on the At-Large discussion lists in 12 consecutive months, it automatically loses its voting rights and active status within the NARALO. The ALS should be notified of the status change and may regain its voting rights and active status if within the next 12 months it votes or participates to online discussions, otherwise the Chair will submit to ALAC a request for de-certification of that ALS." The wording above makes it so an inactive ALS will not negatively affect our quorum. We have never actually taken the step of de-certification of an ALS. Can I have any comments you might have on our process? We will be discussing this in Singapore. D Darlene A. Thompson Community Access Program Administrator Nunavut Dept. of Education / N-CAP P.O.
