Re: [alac] Replacement of ALAC members



the sooner the better, but people shouldn't feel we are hijacking the process.  I hope using the "leftover" candidates will help.

There are some of the initial Board-appointed members of the ALAC who have
indicated that, after two years of service, they would like to step down.

I propose that we write to the Board and suggest that they should be
prepared to quickly replace such members - possibly before Cape Town - and
perhaps propose a process.

Assuming that it is the Board, not the NomCom, that has the power to replace
these members, I would suggest to the Board to adopt the following process:
- the ALAC issues a call for nominations to the At Large Structures and the
general public (2 weeks)
- the NomCom forwards this call to their ALAC applicants from this year's
round
- all nominations coming from either of the two channels are forwarded to
the Board
- the Board decides how to handle them (i.e. with a subcommittee, or with a
joint Board-ALAC subcommittee, or by forwarding them to the NomCom)
- the appointments are decided

What do you think? I'd like to start moving on this.
