<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee is specified in the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee charter. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison
to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee shall be one year. A person may only serve for three consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to
the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.6.8) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee acts as a conduit between the
RSSAC and the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

instead of “Root Zone Evolution Review Committee.” This has been fixed in the preceding text. The RSSAC will modify this in RSSAC000v4.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">1.2.6.8 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that
includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing
for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the presiding Co-Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus
one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names.
The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a run-off election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with
the simple majority designating the new liaison. The Co-Chairs will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
