On the Process of Board Liaison Election: The proposed timeline is right in the middle of a vacation period in many parts of the world and is very tight. I doubt that RALOs will be able to match what is expected from them. My proposal is to shift the deadline for nominations to early September.

Dear Patrick:
You may not know that according to the General Counsel, the Bylaws oblige the notification of all those who will sit on the Board to the Secretary of ICANN not later than one month before the opening of the Board's meeting at the AGM each year, in this case the Friday of the Seoul meeting. The schedule has been devised with this in mind.
That said, I believe that some flexibility can exist, especially since this is a liaison position - however even so, it doesn't leave a great deal of extra time.

Same general comment as Patrick: could we have more time for the board liaison process. August 15 will give just over 2 weeks (if the RALOs notified the day after tomorrow's call) for what is a critical part of the process and experiment. Add a couple of weeks for the RALOs to organize their selection processes, ensure transparency, and their call for and selection of candidates.
About timing of the appointment, the bylaws say "At least one month before the commencement of each annual meeting". The ICANN meeting starts October 25 (seems to be the official date on the meeting website.) So we have until September 24? Perhaps aim for around September 17 so we have some time if any problems. I know ideally we would give more time so the person can arrange travel to Seoul etc, and start getting up to speed, but think correct selection more important this time around.
I hope the vote will be confidential.
About level of commitment of the liaison. Is section 4 new? The liaison is ex-officio ALAC? And also, in effect, ex-officio Ex-Com? The board is already a very significant commitment, I don't see any reason why the board liaison would need to participate in the administrative Ex-Com, or take on any more duties with regard ALAC.
About process of election. Each RALO nominee should be aware they need to be available for the teleconference to be held between August 18-20.
Any examples of how Instant-runoff voting has been used in ICANN before? How long for each round, etc. Quorum?
Could we have this document on the wiki?
Thanks,
Adam

Dear Adam:
IRV is embodied in ALAC's Rules of Procedure. It has been used for all elections of ALAC for Officers and Liaisons which have been contested since the Rules of Procedure were adopted. The quorum for voting in these elections is the same as for other votes of the ALAC.
