* NOTE:  Except for the ALAC liaisons to the GNSO and ccNSO, there is no assured travel funding for ALAC Liaisons to attend ICANN Meetings unless they are serving ALAC members. Therefore, assurances that they can still perform their role will be required.

Election Procedures

Where only one nomination is received for the all ALAC Liaison positions, with the exception of the SSAC Liaison, the nominee will be confirmed in that role on October 28^th.

If elections are required, the elections for ALAC Liaisons to IDN Policy, GNSO, ccNSO, NCUC, SSAC and WHOIS will be conducted through a single, global election process. The ALAC will vote on the list of candidates using the Instant Runoff Voting system, as provided in Rule 10.4 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure. This means they will rank each candidate, from most preferred to least preferred, using the electronic voting system regularly used for ALAC voting.

For the position of SSAC Liaison, the ALAC will vote on the candidate whose name will be forwarded to the SSAC for review by the SSAC Membership Committee (see details below).

ALAC Liaison to the SSAC Selection Procedure

The SSAC Membership Committee may consider candidates at any time during the year.  The procedure is as follows:

1. A candidate's name is forwarded to Julie Hedlund, Staff support for the SSAC, who will follow up with the candidate to obtain a bio/CV and statement of interest.
2. An interview will be scheduled between the candidate and the SSAC Membership Committee at the Committee's next available meeting.  The Committee meets bi-weekly, but other candidates may be scheduled for discussion at a meeting so the timing depends on the meeting's agenda. 
3. The SSAC Membership Committee conducts the interview, completes the evaluation process of the candidate, and informs the full SSAC of its recommendation.  
   1. This could take some time depending on whether multiple candidates are being considered at the same time.
4. The SSAC decides whether to accept the candidate.  If accepted, the candidate can immediately begin to participate as an invited guest of the Committee until the ICANN Board makes its formal appointment -- generally to occur at an ICANN meeting, but could occur at the next meeting at which the Board is voting on resolutions.
