Hi all, Please note that it is also time for our annual ALAC election. Please see two excerpts from our Rules of Procedure: 10. These members will serve for terms of two (2) years and may not serve more than two consecutive terms totaling more than 40 months. Each new ALAC member selected by the NARALO will be seated at the close of ICANN's annual meeting. ALAC members filling a vacancy will be seated immediately following their nomination. … 11. At least once a year, on or before the First of July, or whenever a vacancy arises, the NARALO shall issue a call for Statements of Interest from members of the North American Internet community to serve on the ALAC. The call for Statements of Interest shall be open for at least 30 days. New ALAC members will be selected and announced sufficiently in advance of ICANN's annual meeting to allow them to be seated as required by Paragraph 10. Gareth Shearman’s first full term has now come to a close. He is still qualified to serve for one more term if he chooses to stand for election. The Call for Statements of Interest is now open and will close on August 19, 2011. If anyone is interested in this position, please send your SOI to the list. An election will follow shortly after August 19, 2011. My apologies for not catching the July 1 deadline but, fortunately, we still have plenty of time before the next meeting for this election process.
