BCEC Announces the Final Slate of ICANN Board Director Candidates Selected by the At-Large Community
by Program Admin Jan. 29, 2017

Jan. 29, 2017

Dear All, The optional Regional At-Large Organization (RALO) petition process<https://atlarge.icann.org/news/announcement-987-2016-12-19-en> in the ICANN Board Director selection did not result in any successful petition to add names to the BCEC Slate of Candidates and this stage of the process has now concluded. Hence, the Final Slate of Candidates, who were selected by the BCEC<https://atlarge.icann.org/news/announcement-985-2016-12-16-en> and will go forward to the next stage of the selection process organized by the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC), are (listed in alphabetical order of the last name): * Alan Greenberg (Canada) * Leon Felipe Sanchez Ambia (Mexico) EoIs of the Final Slate of Candidates You may view the EoIs (with personal and private information removed) of the Final Slate of Candidates HERE<https://community.icann.org/x/N6bDAw>. Next Steps In the coming weeks before the start of the final election, the BMSPC will organize activities and mechanisms that facilitate the interactions between the At-Large Community Members and the Final Slate of Candidates. The methods of interaction will incorporate input from ALAC Members, RALO members, and the Final Slate of Candidates themselves. The BMSPC will announce the planned interactions in due course. In accordance with the selection timeline<https://community.icann.org/x/ORq4Aw>, the first round of voting in the final election will be initiated on Tuesday, 21 February 2017. Any internal RALO decision making processes, such as confirming the electorates<https://community.icann.org/x/8LXDAw> and directing RALO Chairs' votes in the final election, should be conducted and completed before 21 February. The selection process is planned to be completed by Friday, 21 April 2017, with the announcement of the successful Candidate on that date. Background Information For background information of the ICANN Board Director Selection Process, please visit the At-Large Board Member Selection workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/6Q2MAg>. Any questions regarding the process should also be directed by email to program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org>. They will be answered as quickly as possible.

Opinions Requested
by Glenn McKnight Jan. 26, 2017

Jan. 26, 2017

Hi Folks Recently I notified the NARALO membership to expect a vote to agree or disagree on including Sebastien Bachollet as a candidate in the slate for the Board seat. Currently only two names are on the slate This week EURALO completed a purpose vote from their ALS's that agreed that he should be included. The rules require that two additional RALO's must agree *PASSIONATELY *to expand the slate to include Sebastien In order to measure our passion on this subject it seems we need to ask the community *first on your views on this subject*. If we feel passionate to include him then I will direct Ariel to promptly send out the vote. Please note we have very little time to discuss this situation given the timelines set by the committee. Changes in these processes should be high on the agenda for the next election cycle to reduce this type of confusion Take a minute and express your opinion on this subject . If the majority of the opinions supports a vote so be it. If the majority is against a vote we will tell the committee that our RALO will not hold a vote, A 'no vote' resulting in no support for adding Sebastien to the slate. Opinions welcome Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

I have no qualms in including anybody on a slate who has acted according to pre-established rules and procedures, always noting my passionate precondition that it does not compromise or foreshadow my eventual vote -up or down- on the issue and regarding a candidate or candidates in any way.

The deadline for the other RALOs to make their decisions and inform program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org> is Sunday, 29 January 23:59 UTC.
