I'm sorry that this has gotten so confusing for everybody involved. We have four elections/nominations happening concurrently:

1. NARALO nomination for the ALAC Nom Com position (replacing Marc) (now closed) (Alan and Eric have their names in - that we know of)

- There is nothing for NARALO to do here. In fact it is not a NARALO nomination, it is a regional appointment to ALAC by the NomCom. - This is not a normal appointment, it is an emergency measure designed to fill an unanticipated vacancy for the remainder of its term. - This is a confidential process; we have been involved in publicity but have zero influence on how the selection happens; indeed, we will never be informed officially of how many people stepped forward to be considered 2. NARALO nomination for an At Large delegate for the Nominating Committee

itself (this was held by Eduardo up until now) (Glenn (definitely) and Eduardo (probably) have their names in)

- This is an ALAC appointment. Regions can offer a preference or stay silent, but the actual decision comes from ALAC which has on occasion rejected the regional preference. - Eduardo cannot stand again, he has served two consecutive terms. - I have nominated Glenn who has accepted the nomination - Beau had mentioned Annalisa but has since indicated she has withdrawn 3. NARALO election for ALAC (this position was held by Gareth - he is still

eligible for another term if he chooses to run) (if Eduardo is chosen to serve as the NARALO NomCom delegate he cannot hold this position) (debatably we have NOBODY on the slate yet)

- As stated, Eduardo cannot be on the NomCom for a third term. He has been nominated and intends to stand for election as NARALO rep to ALAC -- so far the only candidate yet to declare, - Gareth is eligible to run for re-election but has not yet stated if he will do so.

4. NARALO election for leadership positions of Chair and Secretariat (so far Beau and I have been re-nominated to continue holding these positions but anybody can run or nominate someone else)

- Exactly right So... to recap, here is a list of what NARALO is to do. - ELECT a Chair and Secretariat for one-year terms - Currently held by Beau and Darlene, who are standing for re-election - ELECT an ALAC representative for a two-year term (Gareth's current position) - So far Eduardo has declared his candidacy, Gareth is eligible for another term but has not declared - RECOMMEND to ALAC a preference for its North American appointment to the Nominating Committee for a two-year term - Any preference stated by NARALO is optional and non-binding upon ALAC, which makes the actual selection - So far only Glenn is recorded as wanting the post and requesting NARALO's endorsement - STAND IDLY BY as the Nominating Committee selects a replacement for the ALAC vacancy created by Marc Rotenberg's resignation, for the remainder of that position's term (approximately one year) - The selection process and list of interested candidates are confidential Of course, an election is not necessary if only a single person is a declared candidate for a position at the time of the appropriate deadline.

Darlene: I have nominated myself for #3, i.e. NARALO election for ALAC (the position currently held by Gareth). I can't run this year for #2 and I can't apply for #1 since I am still in the NomCom. Hopefully this will clear the confusion. Best; -ed On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 1:18 PM, Thompson, Darlene <DThompson1@gov.nu.ca>wrote:

Hi Eduardo and all,

Eduardo: OK, I am totally confused and I really hope that you can clarify! I notice from https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Elections+2011 that this appointment and subsequent support has been considered as being for the ALAC delegate to the Nom Com. If you read my e-mail below, the election that you replied to was for the NARALO ALAC election - NOT the Nominating Committee position. So, which position were you proposing yourself for? We need to know this as this changes the landscape for the NARALO ALAC election. Also, this opens the question as to whether your application to the Nominating Committee was done on time and whether the subsequent support can actually be counted (if it matters anyways).

Eduardo, I am also very confused by the new timings quoted in the attached link. On July 10, Adam Peake sent an e-mail to the Secretariats list which I subsequently forwarded to this list stating that we had until Aug. 15 to send our choices for delegates to the NomCom. Why has this time-line been tightened up without notice to the regions - or am I muddling things up again?

Everybody:

I'm sorry that this has gotten so confusing for everybody involved. We have four elections/nominations happening concurrently:

1. NARALO nomination for the ALAC Nom Com position (replacing Marc) (now closed) (Alan and Eric have their names in - that we know of) 2.

NARALO election for leadership positions of Chair and Secretariat (so far Beau and I have been re-nominated to continue holding these positions but anybody can run or nominate someone else)

I hope that we can get the timings and the "who is running for WHAT" issues settled quickly!

All:

I want to submit my nomination for the ALAC election.

I have been a founder member of the NARALO since its inception in 2007. During this time I have been able to participate in the majority of all conference/ICANN meetings. I was elected for two consecutive years to the NomCom and I successfully put together (with the help of you all!!) a good NARALO show in San Francisco. Currently, I am representing the region in the ccNSO Territory and Country Names Study Group and also submitted my name to volunteer in the WHOIS Review Team.

I believe I am ready to work at a level with a wider scope and responsibilities. I have the time and motivation to do the work required at ALAC.

Thanks.

Eduardo Diaz

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.
