Dear All, The deadline for the submission of nominations for the LACRALO representative to serve on ALAC from 2011-2013 was August 31 2011. One nomination was received: * Natalia Enciso, from APADIT, Paraguay Natalia has accepted her nomination, and as discussed on the LACRALO mailing list (https://community.icann.org/x/CgBsAQ), there will be a LACRALO teleconference call. This LACRALO conference call is scheduled for Tuesday September 13 2011 at 21:00 UTC. The intent of the teleconference is for a cordial discussion with the candidate and for the candidate to answer any questions from LACRALO ALS members. Questions for the candidate can be posted on the LACRALO list before the Tuesday call. If the conference call on Tuesday September 13 2011 is quorate (8 or more ALSes are attending the call) and unless there was a request by any ALS to call for a vote, then we would attempt to have the one nominated candidate acclaimed by consensus by those attending the call. If the conference call is NOT quorate, then a simple majority of ALSes in LACRALO (>18 ALSs) is needed to express support for Natalia Enciso to be confirmed as LACRALO representative to ALAC for 2011-2013. A BigPulse poll will be created and ALS representatives will be emailed instructions on how they can express their support. The question on the poll would be "Do you support the nomination of Natalia Enciso as the LACRALO representative to ALAC from the close of the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2011 until the close of the ICANN AGM in 2013?" with the possible choices of "Yes" or "No" Once more than 18 ALSes have confirmed their support for Natalia Enciso as LACRALO representative to ALAC, then Natalia Enciso will be confirmed as LACRALO representative to ALAC from 2011 to 2013. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat
