Actually, in almost all of these cases there were multiple people considering the positions. In the conversation leading to consensus, some dropped out to enable a single consensus candidate.
Where no such consensus was possible between the people considering running and other NARALO members, there was a secret vote.
I still don't think this point needs changing. Secret votes still happen, but the region is enabled (and indeed is encouraged) to use consensus where possible.

#12 refers to ALAC members being chosen by a rough consensus process. This has never been done. It has always been done by a voting process. The rough consensus wording should rather be used for routine decisions.
I am happy to make such a change if there is such a will.
I wouldn't say never.
NARALO's first two non-ALAC reps -- Robert and Beau - were chosen by consensus, no vote was ever taken. I believe that Gareth's selection as well as my first, were also done that way.
I would prefer to keep the option so to allow for the flexibility.
