HI Evan,
I also thought this was weird but Dev Anand said this happened a
couple of times in LACRALO. The recommended candidate was not
chosen and another candidate was chosen. Also for APRALO, they
are asking ALAC to make the selection from the 4 referred
candidates. When a question was asked as to why they were not
having elections they stated that APRALO can choose to send all
its candidates name to ALAC and for ALAC to make the choice.
NOMCOM uses different rules than what we, in NARALO, currently use
for elections and so the election for NOMCOM was just a preference
and not a choice.
Best,
Judith

the NOMCOM goes through a secondary stage of assessment from ALAC. Our NARALO vote resulted in the NARALO majority recommending Leah Symekher to the ALAC as the Delegate to the Nominating Committee for the period of one year beginning at the end of the ICANN60 Meeting in November 2017. Note that ALAC looks at both candidates in coming up with their final decision .
There needs to be a compelling reason for the ALAC to not endorse the elected recommendation from a region. Such a rejection is (and should be) rare, and I can't recall it ever happening.
Not absolutely sure when ALAC makes their decision. I will ask Alan Greenberg for timelines. I assume it's at the next ALAC meeting.
Typically, the ALAC holds a single vote to endorse the recommended NomCom representatives from all regions at once. It is usually done at the first ALAC meeting held after all regional elections are done.
