Dear All, The ALAC is looking for a non-ALAC representative from AFRALO to join the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee. The proposal to add non-ALAC representatives to the Finance and Budget Subcommittee came from Improvements Work Team C (ALAC/At-Large¹s participation in ICANN and ALS participation in At-Large) and was endorsed by the ALAC during their meeting of 25 January. Among the responsibilities of the Finance and Budget Subcommittee are the following: * Review the At-Large budget requests for FY12 * Identify key projects for FY12 and the following years * Provide advice to the ALAC and ICANN¹s Finance Department on current and upcoming budget matters The current listing for the SC therefore has the following members (designations): Cheryl Langdon-Orr (ALAC/APRALO) Charles Mok (APRALO) Tijani Ben Jamaa (ALAC/AFRALO) Dave Kissoondoyal (ALAC/AFRALO) Olivier Crepin-Leblond (ALAC/EURALO) Chair of the B&F-SC Sylvia Herlein Leite (ALAC/LACRALO) Gareth Shearman (ALAC/NARALO) Darlene Thomspon (NARALO) As this is a Subcommittee of the ALAC, the RALO representative will participate as an ex officio member, meaning that they do not have a formal vote, (should a vote in the SC ever be called for) but acts as an essential liaison point with the RALO and their ALSes on these matters. If you are interested in this AFRALO representative position, (including offers to act as alternates for those currently allocated), then please reply to the mailing list by Monday, 7 February at 2359 UTC. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org
