Background Information:
NARALO was the first RALO to formally recognize unaffiliated members. According to the NARALO Operating Principles, unaffiliated individuals can participate in NARALO votes and run for the NARALO positions in the ALAC.
During the NARALO call on 9 August 2010, it was decided that the following rules shall apply with regards to unaffiliated member voting:
* unaffiliated NARALO members need to register by submitting a Statement of Interest * unaffiliated NARALO members will elect a representative for a one year term to represent them during General Assemblies and other circumstances as required * voting weight of all unaffiliated NARALO members combined will be equal to that of one ALS representative * it shall be possible to adopt a voting process which automatically weights the combined votes of all unaffiliated individuals to be equal to that of one single ALS. * Unaffiliated Individuals will adopt a verifiable process to ensure that votes cast via their elected representative reflect the views held among unaffiliated individuals
The NARALO Operating Principles will be modified accordingly. The draft modifications will be sent to the NA-Discuss list shortly.
