Background

The At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) appoints, in consultation with LACRALO, a representative from LACRALO to serve on the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom ; http://nomcom.icann.org/). Such representatives of the NomCom are appointed for a one year term, and may be re-appointed for a further term of one year subject to the requirement under the ICANN By Laws that such a representative may only serve a maximum of two consecutive years.

While LACRALO does not formally elect a representative to the NomCom, LACRALO has to submit to ALAC a list of all accepted regional nominations for the NomCom position and may also make a recommendation of a preferred candidate to the ALAC.

The representative from Latin America and the Caribbean to the NomCom was José Ovidio Salgueiro from AVDINT, Venezuela. He is not eligible for re-election as he has served two consecutive years.

Any representative from an accredited ALS can be a delegate and needs to understand the obligations and requirements for Nominating Committee members:

The deadline for the submission of nominations to be considered as a delegate from LACRALO to the Nominating Committee is July 25, 2011.

If there are more than one accepted nomination after the deadline, then an electronic vote would be held to select a preferred LACRALO delegate to the Nominating Committee.
