6. Regional Representation Model on the At-Large Board Director Election
During the NARALO call on 09 August, two additional points were raised:
- incorporate the position of unaffiliated NARALO member representative in the RoP. The representative will have one vote at the NARALO GA and online votes.
- the rules pertaining to the decision-making processes need to sufficiently flexible and should not be tied to one particular process such as online voting
In addition to the modifications outlined above, the draft modified RoP also includes the following suggested changes:
- reduce the number of ALS and unaffiliated member representatives participating to the GA and online votes from 2 to 1 to be consistent with past practice.
- make ALAC members eligible to serve for two FULL two-year terms.
- allow the NARALO Chair and the Secretariat to register as an unaffiliated member.
...
(Evan)(10 minutes)
Discussion on whether the votes of the NARALO representatives in the At-Large Board Director election should be "guided" by NARALO.. If so, what representation model should be employed (e.g. will the NARALO representatives be asked to vote according to the result of a regional vote on the candidates)?
