Dear All, The election for NARALO Secretariat (candidates: Darlene Thompson and Glenn McKnight) has resulted in a tie vote. NARALO Operating Principles do not cover this eventuality. At-Large Staff has consulted with available ALAC Members from the region as well as the NARALO Chair on what process to use to address the situation. The consensus is that the vote for Secretariat should be rerun, but prior to that, NARALO must amend its rules to ensure that on the re-vote, the possibility of a tie in officer selections is addressed.

Is it possible to have co-secretaries? Two people working together to share the tasks and responsibilities. This may be somewhat alien to Americans but we have a number of boards of directors in Canada which have co-chairs (ie. Chairman of the board) who alternate leading meetings and share the tasks and responsibilities that go with the position. Just a thought, Cheers, Allan Skuce On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 11:16 PM, ICANN At-Large Staff < staff@atlarge.icann.org> wrote:

Hi If you recall it was suggested as in other locations that a VICE CHAIR be created as in other regions , but as other pointed out it's a non funded positioned for travel. It's surprizing that we had nothing in the election bylaws for such an incident. Clearly this is how things improve through challenges and necessity is surely the mother of invention Glenn Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

Hi All, I agree with Allan. It seems like a win for the region if we have to motivated and qualified people each carrying part of the load. I'd like to hear from Glenn, Darlene, et al whether divvying up the job of Secretariat might be possible? Is there a standing description of the job somewhere or is it more or less self-defined?

Hi Dharma, Our Rules of Procedure were written specifically so that two people could share the office. Of course, as has been mentioned, only one travel spot comes with and would have to be shared. With my declining health over the past few months, I can't see this as a problem for me. D Darlene A. Thompson CAP Administrator N-CAP/Department of Education P.O.
