The Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Regional At-Large Organisation (LACRALO) has to elect representatives to serve on behalf of LACRALO and to recommend to ALAC persons to serve on several ICANN Supporting Organisations on a regular basis.

...

  1. As per ICANN's Bylaw Article XI, Section 2.4e, "The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region..)..to the Nominating Committee."
  2. When the ALAC formallys asks all RALOs for selections, a call for candidates from LACRALO to serve on the NomCom committee is announced to the LACRALO mailing lists and on its website. A deadline for the submission of nominations is specified in the announcement.
  3. During this call for candidates, ALS representatives in LACRALO may offer him or her self as a NomCom candidate and/or nominate another ALS representative to be a NomCom candidate. ALS representatives can also second such nominations. Nominated candidates to NomCom are expected to confirm whether he or she is willing to stand as a candidate.
  4. After the close of the call for candidates, nominated candidates should submit a statement of interest which would be posted on the LACRALO website. This is typically for only a few days as it is expected that nominated candidates would have worked on such a statement during the call for candidates. The time also allows for the setting up of the online poll for the voting period to select a preferred LACRALO candidate.
  5. The vote to select a preferred LACRALO candidate takes place. At the beginning of the voting period, each ALS in LACRALO is emailed specific instructions and a website to go to submit their vote.
  6. At the end of the voting period, the results are tallied as per rule 12.9 of the RoP (each vote is weighted with a country coefficient) and the results of the vote are announced to the list, with the preferred candidate.
  7. LACRALO transmits all accepted nominations, with its recommendation of its preferred candidate to ALAC.
