Dear Carlos, this is not an electoral process. The process is the selection by the ALAC of a candidate to sit in the Nominating Committee. The selection will be undertaken by the ALAC. The RALOs can forward the list of candidates they suggest to the ALAC. There is actually no need to make a pre-selection and in fact, a RALO can send a list of more than one candidate to the ALAC. The RALO can send advice on as many or as few candidates to the ALAC as they want, but the final choice is made by the ALAC, not the RALOs. For your information, here is a copy of the by-laws regarding NomCom nominees: Section 4. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE DELEGATES Delegates to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be: 1. Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and with experience and competence with collegial large group decision-making; 2. Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN; 3. Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities; 4. Persons who are neutral and objective, without any fixed personal commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee responsibilities; 5. Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who are willing to serve as volunteers, without compensation other than the reimbursement of certain expenses; and 6. Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and spoken English. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. Kind regards, Olivier On 04/08/2011 21:13, cveraq@gmail.com wrote :
On yesterday at 16h00 UTC the process was closed after 3 days of voting. In fact I verify this and the web site shows the word CLOSED
After an email from Carlton the process is now open again! No questions asked!
So quick, so bad

Estimates staff members: I am amazed at what I'm reading on a new openness of the electoral process, you could give an explanation about what happens in the election?
