The Following extract of our new Rules of Procedure are relevant to this process 

 RELEVANT RULES OF PROCEDURES 

 

*Section D: Selections, Elections and Appointments*

 

*28. General Provisions*

 

28.1 According to the ICANN by-laws, the APRALO appointments, and selections should be made wherever possible by Consensus, but failing that, elections can always be used and the methodology for such is outlined in these RoP.

 

28.2 Elections and selections can take place by electronic mail, online ballot, written ballot, or any other convenient and accurate means that are deemed to provide appropriate degree of confidentiality.

 

* 29 Procedures for the Selection of Leaders and the APRALO Leadership Team*

 

*29.1 Ordinary Leadership selections*

 

29.1.1 Ordinary selections of the APRALO Chair and Vice Chair(s) shall be held so as to have the new selections prior to the start of the end of June each year. The selection should preferably be completed  at least three weeks prior to the start of the June/July ICANN Meeting to facilitate travel arrangements IF the selectee is expected to attend that ICANN Meeting. They are expected however to attend  the ICANN Meeting were the ICANN AGM is held and where they will effectively 'take their seats' for the roles that are appointed to.

Nominations:

Self-nominations were welcomed,  received and posted, self-nominations were deemed to also act as formal acceptance of 'nomination'.

The following 'slate' of people were proposed for these roles via the APRALO mail list for deliberation by the Region prior to the May 27th Regional Conference Call where all proposed selections were discussed and overwhelmingly supported by the unanimous agreement  all those present at the meeting (NB. the meeting was quorate)  It was further agreed that these positions will  however stay "open" until Tue 3rd June for any additional comment or considerations  by RALO Members who were unable to attend this meeting; (as usual with any consensus call via our list silence will be counted as agreement to the proposal, and any contention should be sent to the AP-Discuss Mailing list by 2369hrs UTC on Tue 234d 2014 .  Therefore if there is no contention to these proposed selections  then at this time all roles will be deemed to be finally selected and the members of the new 2014-20126 AP-LT will be considered in their Roles as 'Elect' until formal confirmation of these appointment during the APRALO General Assembly to be held in London on Wednesday 25 June 11:00 - 13:00.

1. An ALAC Representative for 2 year term ending in November 2016 - Holly currently serves in this role and she is willing and able to continue for another term. Proposed Holly Raiche

2. The APRALO Chair to serve a 2 year term ending in November 2016 - Siranush is currently Acting Chair having stepped in for Holly and it is proposed by the current Leadership of the RALO, that she continue in this role for another complete term of office. Proposed Siranush Vardanyan

3. A  Vice Chair to serve a 2 year term ending in November 2016 - Fouad currently serves in this role and the suggestion is that Ali would be proposed for this role. Proposed Ali AlMeshal

4. A Vice Chair to serve a 1 year term ending in October 2015 - this is currently "vacant" as Siranush held this role but stepped in as Acting Chair when Holly resigned her role in this capacity, earlier this year and the suggestion is that Satish would be proposed for this role. Proposed Satish Babu.

 

Rationale: Noting that all the aforementioned people are highly active either in the roles already or in APRALO activities, and all have offered or agreed to serve in these roles, this would mean that the APRALO Leadership team would have the best possible geographic and time zone spread as well as gender equity that we can manage for our Region as the two RALO Reps and Chair (Female) and the two new Vice Chairs and our Secretary (Male) would be a 3:3 ratio that covers most of our Geo sub regions
