Relevant 2013 ALAC ROP Text:

5. ALAC Chair Requirements and Responsibilities

5.1            The Chair must be an ALAC Member.

...

5.14.4           Any other ALAC Member by mutual agreement of the ALAC Members. Barring such agreement, Staff shall identify one ALAC Member by random selection from among all remaining ALAC Members who are both willing to serve and have the explicit support of at least one other ALAC Member.

8. Terms

8.1            All appointments begin at the conclusion of one AAGM and continue until the conclusion of the following AAGM, unless the ALAC specifically identifies a different timeframe.

8.2            If the Chair is still a member of the ALAC in the year following his or her selection, is willing to continue in that role and subject to the eligibility rules in Paragraph 5, the Chair’s term is deemed to be automatically renewed for a second year without any explicit action of the ALAC.

8.3            Should the Chair not be eligible to serve the automatically renewable second year, or chooses not to do so, the ALAC will select a new Chair as per the normal Chair selection process.

8..4            If any person leaves an appointed position prior to the normal end of their term, the person appointed as a replacement will serve only for the remainder of the incumbent’s term. This interim appointment should not negatively impact the individual’s eligibility to be appointed to this position on a regular basis at a later stage.
