Re: [At-Large] Rules of procedure, draft 2
I go for 2 - we have one "election time" and get it over with in good time
to send names where they need to be sent, with new positions being taken up
after the AGM, and we have time for the new officers to "shadow" and get up
to speed where necessary. Adam's right about the terms allowing for the
"new" ALAC to vote 2x. He's also right in that we seem to get stuck on some
things after we are almost agreed, and then end up starting the discussion
all over again.

Incidentally, there is no term for the RALOs to notify their
appointments, and some RALOs might want to meet at the AGM and vote
there! So there's a bit of an electoral jam here :-)
Perhaps a solution (if we agree that we want to go for the third option
I posted, "the new ALAC votes at the AGM") would be to add a clause that
says that, even if the vote is held before the closure of the AGM (and
it has to be so, because the first meeting of the new Board starts
immediately after), it is the new ALAC members that vote, unless they
have not been elected yet, in which case the old ALAC members vote in
their place.
Anyway, we could also have a clause asking RALOs to notify their
appointments, say, no later than three days before the closure of the
AGM. That would allow RALOs to meet in the first days of the meeting and
do the election.
If this is the line of conduct that we like, I will draft text to this
effect - but is everyone ok with this? Could we please have a straw poll
on preferences among the three options:
1) as it is now: the old ALAC votes at the AGM;
2) the old ALAC votes at the ICANN meeting before the AGM;
3) the new ALAC votes at the AGM.
Up to now, I've seen Wendy for 3), and personally that's the one I
prefer as well.
Of course, if we prefer 1) or 3) then we have to check whether that's
acceptable to ICANN, but I'd do it later and come back to the decision
only if there are problems.
