[AusNOG] ASO Call for Comments on Nominees for ICANN Board Seat

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Hi Narelle, at the moment the ALAC has a Liaison (non voting) who is elected
by the ALAC each year to the ICANN Board and that role is currently filled
by Wendy Seltzer from NARALO,  (each At-Large Structure (ALS such as ISOC-AU
there are currently 124 ICANN accredited ALSes fairly evenly distributed
across the 5 geo regions )  is grouped into 5 regions AP, AF, EU, LAC, NA
(just like the NIC's)  called Regional At Large Organisations (RALO) each
under an MOU with ICANN and the ALAC (a Bylaw mandated Advisory Committee to
the Board of ICANN) which I currently Chair, is comprised of 2 appointments
from each RALO n=10  + 1 person appointed per region, by the ICANN
Nominating Committee n= 5 giving a total ALAC of N=15...
However  if the proposals and recommendations from the ICANN Board
Governance Committee's ALAC Review Working Group are accepted when sent to
the Board later this year then At-Large (the ALSes / RALO's) will be asked
to appoint (mechanism tbd) two (or one if the proposal is diluted) full
ICANN Board Members ...

So from an AusNOG point if view, we are really more correct ( specific)  if
we state that ISOC-AU like other ALSes is aiming at having a similar role in
the appointment of candidates for ICANN Board seats as currently exist for
influence from within your group into the ASO AC  outlined below...
