Motion for ALAC Revision:
Whereas the ALAC approved revised Rules of Procedure on 03 April 2013 which came into effect on 03 October 2013;
Whereas the selection of the At-Large Board member occupying Seat 15 of the ICANN Board is in the process of being initiated;
Whereas the selection procedures were written with the intent of having four voters per ICANN region;
Whereas two Rules of Procedure omissions have been identified which could reduce the number of voters per region;
Whereas section 10.1.3 of the Rules of Procedure allow the ALAC to approve additional rules to two address these omissions;
Whereas at its meeting in Buenos Aires, the ALAC discussed the proposed changes and decided to put them into effect by an vote after the close of the Buenos Aires meeting;
It is resolved that the ALAC approves the following two rules to the ALAC Rules of Procedure:
* If a RALO Chair position is not currently filled, or if a RALO Chair is not available to participate as an elector, or if a RALO Chair also holds a vote as an ALAC member, the RALO for his/her region will name a replacement for the purposes of the vote. This replacement must be approved by vote of the RALO according to its rules.
* If an ALAC member is unavailable to participate as an elector, the RALO for his/her region will name a replacement for the purposes of the vote. This replacement must be approved by vote of the RALO according to its rules.
Rationale:
When first published there was a typo in it which is now corrected (a missing NOT in the first resolved). The original form was moved by Evan but not seconded by any sitting ALAC member.
