AFRALO and APRALO will be holding their selection process for their RALO leaders on the same schedule as the ALAC and NomCom Delegate positions. NARALO began their call for nominations on 11 April 2016. Details are located on the RALO selection, election and appointment pages. 

Terms:

ALAC: Terms for the ALAC will run from the end of the 2016 AGM to the end of the 2018 AGM. 

ALAC Delegates to the NomCom: Voting members of the NomCom are appointed for a one year term, starting at the 2016  AGM and ending at the close of the 2017 AGM and may be re-appointed for a further term of one year subject to the requirement under the ICANN Bylaws.
