From Garth Bruen, Chair of NARALO
Hello all, The main focus of tomorrow's NARALO call will be to discuss and hopefully get consensus on changes to our Operating Procedures. Please go directly to Agenda item 5.2 and all sub-items in the call agenda: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+2013.08.12+Teleconference Each sub item corresponds to changes to or additions of the Procedure numbers 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. The items in the agenda are brief o the changes and not the literal changes, please refer to the draft documents issued by Alan for specifics. Please familiarize yourself with these changes. Any other business will be discussed when and if the policy change discussion is complete. One critical change concerns #19 which enhances our ability to handle ties in a NARALO election, which we are facing right now. Essentially, we are recommending that ties be broken by a temporary three-person group drawn from our leadership. Once this is agreed by consensus, the Chair will call for a run-off vote for secretariat to resolve the current tie. On the occurrence of a second tie we will employ the new procedure. It is CRITICAL that we have as many NARALO members on the call to ratify these changes. If you have questions or concerns about the proposed changes, please post them to the list now to avoid redundant discussion an explanation during the call. Thanks, Garth

Attached are a red-line and a clean version to be discussed at the NARALO meeting on Monday.
There are only a small number of changes from the previous version (this time in purple):
13. Make it clear that the sentence on tie-breaking is for the ALAC member (the subject of the entire paragraph).
16. Grammar correction "participates IN online discussions"
17. Remove a redundant "submitting".
