[ga] Replacing unelected AL reps/2nd place finishers

[Weisberg <weisberg@texoma.net>]

PROPOSITION:
The mechanism for replacing the four unelected directors should those
seats be vacated should be the appointment of the second place
finishers in the four regions with the highest number of members--Asia,
Europe, North America, and South America?

(My opinion)  Agreed.


DISCUSSION:
The proportional representation electoral system used by ICANN (STV/IRV)
indicates that the second place finishers were, indeed, the preferred
choices for board membership if two slots were available in each of
those regions.  Such mechanism has already been deemed most appropriate
and adequate by the institution's own processes, can be implemented
without the time and expense of a new election, and is, on the whole,
the most fairly representative alternative available for immediate
implementation.
