Dear All, I am not sure if this is a function of translation, but the language in the options is a bit obtuse. Jacqueline Morris is doing some alternative text in the interest of clarity. Best regards On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 2:14 PM ICANN At-Large Staff < 52sNoreplyGhb11-98754@bigpulse.com> wrote:
Dear All,
The LACRALO ALS Electorate has been asked the following question (EN):
It is necessary to carry out the election of the new leaders. As discussed in LACRALO, there is a dichotomy between current (new) operating principles and the current Rules of Procedure. To solve this problem, two options have been proposed. The first option means choosing the 5 positions described in the new operating principles (chair, vice chair, secretary, vice secretary and ALAC member) and proposing the NOMCOM member in accordance with the current Rules of Procedure. Choosing this option assumes that the new Rules of Procedure will be approved before October 31, 2019 so that the new Leadership can begin at ICANN66. The second option involves applying the old operating principles until March 31, 2020. If this happens, the elected leadership positions are limited to 3: president, secretary and one ALAC member. The NOMCOM member is also proposed according to these rules. Choosing this option implies approving the new Rules of Procedure before March 31, 2020. This would delay the beginning of rotation in one year.
These are the options:
OPTION 1)
a.- To use the electoral rules of the current rules of procedure (rules 12, 13, 19 and 20) to elect all leadership positions (Chair, vice chair, secretary, vice secretary and ALAC member) and to elect the suggested candidate for the NOMCOM to which the new operating principles refer. The electoral process will begin at 23 UTC on May 03.
b.- If this option is chosen, LACRALO will have until the end of October 2019 to approve the new rules of procedure to give full applicability of the current Operating Principles.
OPTION 2)
a.- To Approve the following transitory norm: "The entry into force of the new LACRALO operating principles is postponed until the start of the 2020 leadership elections. In the meantime, the old operating principles of LACRALO will become valid again."
The electoral process will begin at 23 UTC on May 03.
b.- If this option is chosen, LACRALO will have until the end of March 2020 to approve the new rules of procedure to give full applicability to the New Operating Principles.
What is the option of your preference? *The LACRALO ALS representatives have been asked to cast their vote.*
The voting process will be governed by articles 12, 19 and 20 of the current Rules of Procedure <https://community.icann.org/x/cxDxAg>.
Please note the poll will close on Wednesday, 01 May 23:59 UTC.
Kind Regards,
