Dear All :

LACRALO has until September 15th, 2009 to endorse and submit a list of names of nominees for the ALAC Board Liaison who represents the ALAC and At-Large at the ICANN Board level.

How the ALAC Board Liaison will be elected :

The ALAC adopted a slightly amended election process for the Board Liaison as specified by the Board Liaison Process 2009 (https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?board_liaison_process_2009), at their August 4th meeting.

Each RALO is requested to forward a list of names of nominees that have been endorsed by the RALO. The ALAC will then vote on the list of candidates using the Instant Runoff Voting system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting), which means that they will rank each candidate, from most preferred to least preferred.

ALAC Board Liasion Election timetable:

During its August 4 meeting, the ALAC adopted the following timetable for the Board Liaison election:

* RALO Nominations Open Until: 15th September * Candidate Lists Published: 17th September * Candidate Conference Call with Community: Between 18th - 20th September * ALAC Election Period: 21st - 30th September * Results Announced: 1st October
