Actually, according to the NARALO operating procedures, the process is a bit more formal than that. Regarding the selection of the unaffiliated rep, the procedures also cover that, and as one of the final acts as this year's rep, I will oversee the process. As a reminder to anyone who is interested, to be an unaffiliated member of NARALO, one must submit a Statement of Interest indicating that he/she 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. Such an unaffiliated membership continues until or unless one of the criteria is fails to be satisfied (ie leaves the list, ceases to be a resident of NA, or is a member of an organization that is or becomes a NARALO ALS). I note that membership in ISOC Canada, which has just become an ALS, is an example of a reason for losing unaffiliated status. Alan At 31/05/2013 01:04 PM, Evan Leibovitch wrote:

Come to thing of it... going forward, we probably need to have a process amongst the unaffiliated members for selecting their reprentative.
In the past I seem to recall this was done by consensus.

Thank you Darlene. To strip this down to the bare bones:
Any documented NARALO member can run for office, and any NARALO member can nominate.
As for the vote itself, each ALS has ONE vote.
