Actually, according to our Rules of Procedure, for someone to be considered for election they must be a member of the NARALO. Membership in the NARALO would include anyone from a certified ALS or an individual member who has met the criteria in rule 17: "The members of the unaffiliated individuals, including the representative to the NARALO General Assembly must submit a Statement of Interest indicating that they meet the following criteria: . be subscribed to the NA-Discuss list, . be a permanent resident of one of the countries/territories in the North American region as defined by ICANN, . not be a member of a certified ALS."

The conditions for re-joining the list are fairly simple and straightforward. Additionally, the conditions do not extend to the election, I have in fact argued against removing his name from the ballot. -Garth -----Original Message----- From: na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Danny Younger Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:55 PM To: NARALO Discussion List Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Suspension of Posting Privileges for Eric Brunner Williams I tend to concur with the viewpoints expressed by both Kieren and Bret. An action by the Chair that would result in a competing candidate's loss of posting privileges during an election cycle is ill-advised. In my view, this is an issue that properly should be forwarded to the Ombudsman's office for impartial/neutral resolution.
