We have three proposals about alternates until now. I'm listing the three
options here to facilitate the discussion.
If there aren't new proposals, please express clearly your choice among
those 3.

1) FROM KATHRYN AND INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT IN POINTS F AND G.

F. ** Alternates

 While it is anticipated that Names Council representatives will manage the
many tasks of Names Council representation, Constituency management and DNSO
working group participation, it is also recognized that participation in the
many international meetings, international conference calls, and other Names
Council duties may from time to time require a sharing of time and costs with
an Alternate.

Each person running for Names Council representative may choose an alternate
with whom to run. The alternate candidate must be affiliated with an
organization that is a member of the NCDNHC, and have the approval of that
organization to run. Further, the alternate must be a citizen of the same
geographic region as the Names Council candidate. The names of the two
individuals shall be listed together on the voting ballot. A Names Council
candidate need not run with an alternate.

The Alternate shall work closely with the Names Council representative to
participate and vote as he/she would have done. The Alternate shall keep the
Names Council representative fully informed of his/her actions when
participating in Names Council activities. ***

G. ** Resignation or Withdrawal **

1. Of a Names Council Representative

Should a Names Council representative withdraw, resign or otherwise
relinquish his/her position prior to the end of his/her term, the
Constituency shall hold new elections for this position, provided the
remaining time of the term consists of six or more months. Should the
remaining time of the term consist of less than six months, the alternate of
the Names Council representative, should such a person exist, shall complete
the term.

Should the Names Council representative resign without an alternate and with
less than six months remaining in his/her term, the Administrative Committee
member who was the person with the fourth highest number of votes from a
different geographic region than the 3 Names Council Representatives shall
serve out the remainder of the term. **

2. Of an Administrative Committee member

Should an Administrative Committee member (who is not also a Names Council
representative) withdraw, resign or otherwise relinquish his/her position
prior to the end of his/her term, the Geographic region of the Administrative
Committee member shall be asked to hold new elections for this position,
provided the remaining time of the term consists of six or more months.
Should the remaining time of the term consist of less than six months, the
alternate of the Administrative Committee representative, should such a
person exist, shall complete the term.

Should the Administrative Committee member resign without an alternate and
with less than six months remaining in his/her term, the Administrative
Committee shall solicit input from the Constituency members of the Geographic
region of the Administrative Committee member and appoint a person from the
Region to serve out the term.

3. Of an Alternate

Should an alternate to a Names Council Representative withdraw, resign or
otherwise relinquish his/her position prior to the end of his/her term, the
Constituency shall hold new elections for this position provided the
remaining time of the term consists of six or more months. Should the
remaining time of the term consist of less than six months, the Names Council
Representative with whom the Alternate served shall appoint a new Alternate
to serve out the term. The new Alternate must be from the same Geographic
region as the Names Council representative and must be affiliated with an
organization that is a member of the NCDNHC, and have the approval of that
organization to run.**

2) FROM VANY (WE DIDN'T RECEIVE A FORMAL TEXT YET)

".. The name of the Alternate must be in the ballot together with the name
of the NC. In order to keep and order in this issue, the alternate cannot
be changed everytime the NC representative wants. It has to be a procedure
to do this. If not, every week or every month we will have a different
alternate. Also this action intends to create a compromise of the
Alternate with such seat. "

3) FROM NII QUAYNOR (WE DIDN'T RECEIVE A FORMAL TEXT YET)

"I'm not yet comfortable with the idea of running mates. It takes the SO
challenege from the technical realm of peer review to one of a popularity
contest with running mates as in political elections.
I suggest the DNSO should remain technical and avoid bigtime politics. I
would go for elect 5 persons; 3 for nc and 2 for adcom who may serve as
alternates! real simple."
