APRALO Consensus Call on Petition Process

Consensus Call

http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/apac-discuss/2017-January/003589.html

Dear APRALO Community,

You may have seen the message from BMSPC intimating the outcome of EURALO's petition process, on the matter of a petition candidate for the ongoing Board Member selection process. We are now consulting the APRALO Community to resolve our regional position on this matter through a Consensus Call, as is our practice for key decisions, wherever possible. The APRALO Leadership Team, after discussions, has agreed upon the following:

1. We have every good faith and belief that the BCEC has acted to the best of its ability without bias, favour, or external influence, in identifying a slate of candidates.
2. We believe that the BCEC process considered the case of every applicant who had applied, and made a decision considering all relevant factors while identifying the slate consisting of, in the opinion the BCEC, the two top-ranking applications for further consideration.

For public information on the BCEC and its work, please view: Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) - 2017

If there is consensus within the community on both points above, APRALO will not support the Petition.

Kindly let us know, by reply e-mail to this list, if you have any significant objections to us Resolving that 'APRALO does not support any addition of applicants by petition onto the Final Slate of Candidates.' as outlined above.

This call will be open on this list until Thursday 26th January at 2359 UTC for any active ALS or Unaffiliated Individual Member to make any objections known. After this time, assuming a consensus emerges, we would take appropriate next steps. On behalf of the APRALO Leadership Team,

Satish Babu Chair, APRALO

http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/apac-discuss/2017-January/003590.html

Dear all,

As we have not received any objections to the Consensus Call within the deadline, I confirm the following resolution:

"APRALO does not support any addition of applicants by petition onto the Final Slate of Candidates."

Thank you for your time,

Satish Babu Chair, APRALO

20 or more electorates must vote to reach quorum.

An electorate can only make one choice from the possible vote answers.

'Abstention' is counted toward quorum, but not counted toward result interpretation. In other words, the option with the highest votes, NOT counting abstention, wins. 

Olivier Crepin-Leblond will choose one candidate over the other to break the tie and needs to inform At-Large Staff via email about his choice. 

Once a vote has been casted in BigPulse, change is not allowed.

Dear All,

Consensus Call

Email from humberto.carrasco and maritza.aguero, LACRALO Chair and Secretariat

In the case of LACRALO, we asked the opinion of our members via mailing list.  

The 3rd of January I sent the following email to the list:

"Dear All,

As you are aware, we are in a process for the At-large community to participate in the process of choosing the 15th position for the ICANN board. 

On 16 December 2016, the BCEC concluded its Candidate Evaluation process and announced that the following Candidates will be named as the (initial) BCEC Slate of Candidates, be automatically included in the Final Slate, and go forward to the next stage of the selection process organized by the BMSPC. The Candidates, listed in alphabetical order of the last name, are:  

Alan Greenberg (Canada) 

Leon Felipe Sanchez Ambia (Mexico)

In spite of the above, LACRALO has the option to incorporate more candidates to this list. The candidates that can be incorporated are the following:

• • Sebastien Bachollet (France)
  • William Michael Cunningham (United States)
  • Hago Dafalla (Libya)
  • Nigel Phair (Australia)  

Candidates will be added only if they receive support through a formal vote of at least three of the five RALOs; each RALO shall vote according to its respective rules. Subsequently, the Final Slate of Candidates will proceed to an election by the ALAC Members and RALO Chairs, which is culmination of the ICANN Board Director selection process. 

We want to emphasize that the proposal of adding candidates is an OPTION and not an obligation. We can conclude that we do not want to add new candidates to the list.

As a result of the above, a discussion process will open that will run until January 9, 2016. The discussion will be carried out in LACRALO's mailing list and in the wiki in the following  link.

If there is consensus or a majority opinion that we must add a new candidate, an election process will be open, and it will run from January 12, 2017 until January 18, 2017.

Regards"

We only had opinions supporting the option in order not to include any other candidate. Thus, the conditions to add a new candidate were not successful. Maritza explained the situation in our last monthly meeting, summarizing the emails.

Hello,

There is no consensus in LACRALO to support any new candidate. For this reason, LACRALO is against to support Sebastien Bachollet.
