Hi all, Well, its "that time of year" again! As per our Rules of Procedures, the Secretariat is to issue a call for SOIs for elected positions on July 1 of each year. I was going to do this on Monday's meeting but since there seems to be confusion on that matter, I won't allow that to cause us further delays. We need to elect three positions: ALAC, Chair and Secretariat. The current ALAC seat that is now coming up for election is the one that Evan is holding. Evan has ran for one term and is eligible for a second, if he chooses to run. The Chair and Secretariat positions are elected on a year-by-year basis. Our ROP states that we are to allow a 30 day period to collect Statements of Interest for these positions during the 30 day period after this announcement. The deadline for accepting SOIs, therefore will be Aug. 5, 2012. If you are interested in any of these positions, please send your SOI to the list to be gathered. We do not have any specific format for such SOIs - people generally just state what position that they are interested in and what they might bring to the position. It is in our ROP that we are to try to choose these positions by concensus but if there is no consensus then a vote is to be called. Questions? Comments? General discussion? SOIs? Bring them on!

Thank you, Darlene. I wish to stand for re-election as ALAC representative for the North American Region. I have a very visible track record within ICANN, having served for two years as Vice-Chair of ALAC after serving for two years as NARALO's first Chair. I believe I have represented the region well, with a combination of optimism and caution (dare I say cynicism) that I believe generally reflects the conflicted view of Internet end-users towards ICANN. I believe I have played a part in At-Large's growing confidence and respect within ICANN, notably in improving working relationships with the ICANN Board and Governmental Advisory Committee, as well as the production of clear, thoughtful policy advice on a range of issues. I speak my mind when I encounter wrongs, and attempt to make decisions that are accountable and justified on what is best for the At-Large community. I believe in open and constructive engagement, having created the NARALO and later the At-Large Skype chat areas as well as creating innovative proposals for At-Large end user outreach. I hope I can again gain the support of the region to continue this work, and especially to move forward the conversation on necessary ICANN reforms being advanced by the Future Challenges Working Group which I co-founded and co-chair. In addition I will continue my ongoing work to further embed end-user needs and concerns into ICANN's corporate core, and to ensure that the issues that matter to the North American region are well represented at ALAC. - Evan On 6 July 2012 14:44, Thompson, Darlene <DThompson1@gov.nu.ca> wrote:

Thank you, Darlene.
I wish to stand for re-election as ALAC representative for the North American Region.
I have a very visible track record within ICANN, having served for two years as Vice-Chair of ALAC after serving for two years as NARALO's first Chair.
I believe I have represented the region well, with a combination of optimism and caution (dare I say cynicism) that I believe generally reflects the conflicted view of Internet end-users towards ICANN. I believe I have played a part in At-Large's growing confidence and respect within ICANN, notably in improving working relationships with the ICANN Board and Governmental Advisory Committee, as well as the production of clear, thoughtful policy advice on a range of issues. I speak my mind when I encounter wrongs, and attempt to make decisions that are accountable and justified on what is best for the At-Large community. I believe in open and constructive engagement, having created the NARALO and later the At-Large Skype chat areas as well as creating innovative proposals for At-Large end user outreach.
I hope I can again gain the support of the region to continue this work, and especially to move forward the conversation on necessary ICANN reforms being advanced by the Future Challenges Working Group which I co-founded and co-chair.

As per our Rules of Procedures, the Secretariat is to issue a call for SOIs for elected positions on July 1 of each year. I was going to do this on Monday's meeting but since there seems to be confusion on that matter, I won't allow that to cause us further delays.
We need to elect three positions: ALAC, Chair and Secretariat. The current ALAC seat that is now coming up for election is the one that Evan is holding. Evan has ran for one term and is eligible for a second, if he chooses to run. The Chair and Secretariat positions are elected on a year-by-year basis.
Our ROP states that we are to allow a 30 day period to collect Statements of Interest for these positions during the 30 day period after this announcement. The deadline for accepting SOIs, therefore will be Aug. 5, 2012. If you are interested in any of these positions, please send your SOI to the list to be gathered. We do not have any specific format for such SOIs - people generally just state what position that they are interested in and what they might bring to the position. It is in our ROP that we are to try to choose these positions by concensus but if there is no consensus then a vote is to be called.
Questions? Comments? General discussion? SOIs? Bring them on!

I am now speaking personally and not as Secretariat on this matter:
I have known Evan ever since we started the NARALO. He has always been an acute contributor to all conversations; he listens to other's contributions when making decisions and has spent considerable amounts of his own, personal, voluntary time doing massive amounts of work for both the NARALO and the ALAC. I cannot think of a better person to represent us on the ALAc. If he had not put in his SOI, I would have nominated him. His work has been examplary and I can't think of another person in our region who is willing to commit so much of their personal time to our cuase.
Best of luck, Evan!

Thank you, Darlene.
I wish to stand for re-election as ALAC representative for the North American Region.
I have a very visible track record within ICANN, having served for two years as Vice-Chair of ALAC after serving for two years as NARALO's first Chair.
I believe I have represented the region well, with a combination of optimism and caution (dare I say cynicism) that I believe generally reflects the conflicted view of Internet end-users towards ICANN. I believe I have played a part in At-Large's growing confidence and respect within ICANN, notably in improving working relationships with the ICANN Board and Governmental Advisory Committee, as well as the production of clear, thoughtful policy advice on a range of issues. I speak my mind when I encounter wrongs, and attempt to make decisions that are accountable and justified on what is best for the At-Large community. I believe in open and constructive engagement, having created the NARALO and later the At-Large Skype chat areas as well as creating innovative proposals for At-Large end user outreach.
I hope I can again gain the support of the region to continue this work, and especially to move forward the conversation on necessary ICANN reforms being advanced by the Future Challenges Working Group which I co-founded and co-chair. In addition I will continue my ongoing work to further embed end-user needs and concerns into ICANN's corporate core, and to ensure that the issues that matter to the North American region are well represented at ALAC.

What about the Independent members rep? Is that an elective post? I notice Eric has been quiet recently. j -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -
The independant members rep is elected from the independant reps. Your rep is Alan Greenburg. HOWEVER, that does not stop ANY ONE of your members for going for any elected membership. For example, although I am the spokesperson for my ALS, anybody from my ALS could run for office. This is not just me. This is why you already have an independent person in office right now - Beau Brender. Even though he is not your "official rep" he still has every right to run for any kind of office that he wishes as do the rest of those members. The independent reps can choose to hold elections at any time for who they choose to represent them. There was such an election just a few months ago but it is up to the independent reps to choose their "leaders". Again, however, this does not limit ANY independent rep for running for any kind of elected position. If they need anybody to facilitate this function, I can perform that function as an unopinionated third party but that is the extent of my role in this process. The independants form a quasi-ALS and they are self-governing. As for Eric, after the last election within the "Iindependent ALS" when Alan was elected, Eric chose to remove himself from the list. Our Rules of Procedures state that to be a member of the "Independants" (for lack of a better expression) you must be 1) subscribed to the list (which Eric has removed himself from); 2) be a permanent resident of the NARALO region and 3) not be a contracted party.

Garth Bruen,; SOI: NARALO Chair Hello NARALO, I would like to put forward my SOI for the NARALO Chair. Not because I am dissatisfied in any way with current leadership, but because I want express my commitment to this group and its goals. I have been an active participant in NARALO for several years attending six ICANN meetings, all self-funded with the exception of two. I believe my work is directly geared towards advocacy for the Internet user at-large as well as to holding ICANN accountable and transparent. As NARALO Chair I would expand user involvement and elevate the importance of public disclosure. Research conducted by my organization and its members have resulted in unprecedented changes and discoveries with the Internet architecture, and I hope to expand this work. Thank you. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Thompson, Darlene" <DThompson1@gov.nu.ca> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 2:44 PM To: <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [NA-Discuss] IMPORTANT - NARALO Elections
