LACRALO Elections
Interim Chair Proposal
Vanda Scartezini has proposed that, in lieu of a new election at this time, the current LACRALO acting Chair and Secretariat, Dev Anand Teelucksingh, continue in both positions until the end of the current term on April 15, 2012. If this proposal is accepted by LACRALO, no new election will need to be held until then.
This option will be discussed during LACRALO's call on 21 July. During the LACRALO call on July 21 2011, there was no expressed support for this option.
Nominations for LACRALO Chair Position
The LACRALO Secretariat has asked interested ALS representatives to put forward their candidatures by July 22 2011.

* During the LACRALO conference call on July 21 2011, Sergio stated his email to the list was not an expression of support of the candidate
Election Timetable
- At the 21 July 2011 LACRALO conference, it was agreed by those attending that call, unless there was a request by any ALS to call for a vote that we should attempt to have a interim LACRALO president acclaimed by consensus, if there was only one nomination.
- Unfortunately, there were only 6 ALSes present on that call, which means the conference call was not quorate.
- Therefore, since there are only 4 ALSes that have expressed support for the nomination of Jose Arce as LACRALO president, a simple majority (>18 ALSs) is needed to express support for the nomination of Jose Arce as Interim President to be confirmed.
- A Bigpulse poll has been created and ALS representatives will be emailed instructions on how they can express their support.
- The only question on the poll is:
- "Do you support the nomination of Jose Arce as interim LACRALO President until April 2012?" with the possible choices of "Yes" or "No".
- The poll will close on Friday 29 July 2011 at 23:59 UTC.
- Once more than 18 ALSes have confirmed their support for the nomination of Jose Arce as interim LACRALO president, then Jose Arce will be the interim LACRALO president until April 2012 by acclamation.
Outcome
The online poll to express support for José Francisco Arce to be the interim LACRALO President until April 2012 concluded on Friday 29 July 2011 and the results are as follows:
- 22 out of 36 ALS participated in the poll which is 61% of the ALS in LACRALO
- 21 responded Yes
- 1 responded No
Since more than 18 ALSes have confirmed their support for the nomination of Jose Arce as interim LACRALO president, then José Francisco Arce will be the interim LACRALO president until April 2012
NARALO Election
RALO Officers
The RALOs elect two out of three of their regional representatives on the ALAC. The third representative is appointed by the Nominating Committee. The terms of the RALO-selected ALAC representatives are for two years and staggered. In other words, each region elects one ALAC representative per year. The RALO instruments do not contain specific provisions governing the election process. The below process was proposed to the regional Secretariats by At-Large Staff.

At-Large Representative to the WHOIS
Background Information
Due to an At-Large representative having sent his resignation from the WHOIS Review Team because of increased work pressures, there is an opening for an At-Large member in this very important group which was created under the wider Affirmation of Commitments Reviews. The original call for applicants was made in June 2010 and can be found under: http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/call-for-applicants-01jun10-en.pdf
So far, about half of the Team's work has been completed. It is therefore very important for At-Large to propose a replacement candidate. The difference between the original call and the one we are making now, is procedural - in that we are trying to fill an empty slot as soon as possible.
To familiarise yourself with the Team's work, please consult its current discussion paper, available for public comment from: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-09jun11-en.htm
The WHOIS-RT plan is to have a face-to-face meeting in Marina del Rey (Los Angeles) in September and to have a draft final report ready around the Dakar meeting. This means that any candidate should be prepared to travel - and work hard in the next few months.
<span style="color: #000000">The original call for applicants can be downloaded here: </span><span style="color: #326ca6">[</span><span style="color: #326ca6">call-for-applicants-01jun10-en.pdf</span>|^call-for-applicants-01jun10-en.pdf] [PDF, 100 KB].
How to ApplySend a copy of your CV (maximum 3 pages) in English, a one-page motivation letter and an SOI (Statement of Interest), to: [staff@atlarge.icann.org|mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org]
The SOI should answer the following questions:
- Current vocation, employer and position
- Type of work performed in #1 above
- Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership interest in registries, registrars or other firms that are interested parties in ICANN policy or any entity with which ICANN has a transaction, contract, or other arrangement.
- Identify any type of commercial or non-commercial interest in ICANN GNSO policy development processes and outcomes. Are you representing other parties? Describe any arrangements/agreements between you and any other group, constituency or person(s) regarding your nomination/selection as a work team member. Describe any tangible or intangible benefit that you receive from participation in such processes. For example, if you are an academic or NGO and use your position to advance your ability to participate, this should be a part of the statement of interest, just as should employment by a contracted party, or a business relationship with a non- contracted party who has an interest in policy outcomes.
- Are you a member of a GNSO Constituency / Stakeholder Group, and if yes, which one(s)?
Application Process
ICANN At-Large staff will compile the details and after the deadline for applications which we're setting at Friday 22 July 2011, will forward those for consideration by the GAC Chair and ICANN President/CEO who will make the selection.
