<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
as announced yesterday, I am now forwarding a proposal that the ALAC has developed for the Chair structure of our group.<br>
<br>
As you remember, in London the ALAC representatives were among the first to support the enlargement of the GAC contingent from 2 to 5, while ensuring that the ALAC, as a token of its commitment to keep the size of our group close to what it was, would not seek a similar privilege for itself.<br>
<br>
The ALAC's call for implementing the decision taken in London (3 Co-Chairs) was based on stated principles: diversity, adequate representation, fairness. While maintaining these principles, the ALAC is keen to help our process along by proposing a new structure, incorporating these principles as well as some elements discussed online since the London meeting.<br>
<br>
Here is the ALAC proposal:<br>
<br>
- Chair + 4 Vice-Chairs, these 5 being from the 5 different regions (as per ICANN practice).<br>
<br>
- No region or citizenship may occupy more than one of these positions. There shall be no automatic entitlement of any region to the position of Chair.<br>
<br>
- Process:<br>
- Interim Chair is requested to launch a call for candidates for the 5 positions on the leadership team. It is suggested that these should reach Interim Chair by Monday 11 August at 23:59 UTC.<br>
- Interim Chair would then publish the list of candidates, each with her/his relevant data (full name, business or other affiliation, organization represented, region, citizenship), and set a date for the vote.<br>
- The result of the vote to be published immediately, and the new leadership to convene as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
In order to ensure adequate representation of the global Internet user community, Jean-Jacques Subrenat (European region, citizen of France) has decided to withdraw his candidacy for the position of Co-Chair, and is nominating Mohamed El-Bashir (African region, citizen of Sudan) for Vice-Chair. Mohamed has accepted to be nominated, and his candidacy is endorsed by the ALAC.<br>

Jean-Jacques.<br>
