Dear colleagues, dear Olivier - thanks for this message and to echo and build up on it, I would also like to: - Thank *Sebastian* for the work done in his capacity as a member of the Board and wish him success in the upcoming new roles and initiatives. We all continue building on our previous experiences, so this process should be a continuous exercise and include those who can learn from us - so, I am sure Sebastian will find good ways to share the wealth of expertise gained in his role as a Board member and continue serve the community in the best possible ways. - Congratulate *Rinalia* for being elected to the Board and wish her much luck in this interesting, yet, challenging new role. These are important times for ICANN which will require several key competences, and awareness of geo-political realities in different parts of the world. I trust Rinalia will be able to deliver on the expectations on the community-at-large. - Thank *Roberto* for the wonderful leadership of the BCEC - it has been for me, personally, a great experience. Like in any experience there are always things to learn from and improve based on the input from members. On this note, hope everyone attending ICANN 49 managed to return home safe & sound, otherwise, wishing you safe travels back home! With very best, Veronica On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 1:20 AM, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com>wrote:
Dear All,
I wanted to extend my congratulations to Rinalia Abdul Rahim in what was a very balanced election that required many rounds to differentiate the candidates.
Rinalia has been selected by our community to sit on the Board at a moment that is not only crucial for At-Large but also crucial for ICANN as a whole. She will take her seat at the 2014 ICANN Annual General Meeting - the last meeting of the year - which will take place in Los Angeles.
Thanks to all of the candidates who have run for the position. It is through a wide candidate list that we can assure a wider choice of options for the future of our community.
Thanks to Roberto Gaetano and the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee. Their work has been crucial in providing a first class short-list of candidates.
Thanks to Tijani Ben Jemaa and the Board Member Selection Process Committee for their stewardship of a process that has been challenging due to the multiple instances of Ties.
The work of these Committees is not over. They will analyse lessons learnt and work together to provide the ALAC with an updated set of recommendations to improve the selection process next time around.
Finally, I would like to remind you that until the 2014 ICANN AGM, the Board Member selected by At-Large is Sébastien Bachollet and would like to reaffirm the full support of our community in the challenging months ahead of us. We are well aware that he is not on the Board to "represent us" but as a candidate from our community selected to the Board by our community, he has proven himself to share his experience of Internet End Users with his Board Colleagues and we are grateful of his continued involvement in all matters of ICANN.
Kindest regards,
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair
