ALAC is in charge of the certification of the ALSes under the recommendation of the RALOs. It is also in charge of the decertification of the ALSes that don’t comply with the membership requirements also under the RALOs recommendation.

Since AFRALO is supposed to give its recommendation for the decertification if any, we must set up the guidelines regarding the decertification of ALSes

What are the possible reasons of decertification:

• We have certain ALSes that didn’t show-up since a while. 
• These are the main candidate foe decertification:
  • The ALS is in hibernation mode or don’t exist any more
  • The ALS is not interested anymore in AFRALO 

For the record, NARALO and APRALO have already recommended the decertification of some ALSes

• Some proposals of parameters for decertification:
  • An ALS that has been in a "Standby" status for one entire year, and didn't give valid reasons for that situation should be considered for decertification
  • Before proceeding in the decertification process, the RALO Chair or another designated RALO member officially contacts the ALS representatives for a last trial (with the AFRALO list in copy) to bring it back to the RALO activities.
  • If, 6 months after the trial, the ALS didn't improve and didn't give convincing reasons for their silence, The RALO should proceed and propose to ALAC the decertification of the ALS.
  • All the above is applicable to individual members.    

• Process:
  • An ALS in a "Standby" Status is contacted by the RALO Chair to understand why it is not active
  • During one year, this interaction with the ALS representatives shall continue to bring the ALS back to the RALO activities
  • If, despite all those efforts, the ALS didn't give any sign of improvement, a final warning is sent to the ALS (with the AFRALO list in copy) informing them that the decertification will happen in 6 months if no improvement is made. 
  • In summary, once an ALS reaches the "standby" status, it will spend a year in interaction with the RALO chair for reactivation. if not successful, the ALS will be decertified 6 months later

All the above is applicable to individual members.
