I would therefore like to respectfully nominate Alan Greenberg for ALAC Chair because in our community, Alan is the most knowledgeable person I know, who is an expert about ICANN, its history and its processes as well as the policy development taking place in the GNSO. Alan is also an expert in ICANN's accountability processes since he was Vice Chair of the ATRT2. Through his many years of work at ICANN, in so many working groups, Alan is very well known and respected throughout the ICANN Community so he will have no problem continuing to use all of the channels necessary for the ALAC to continue its growth, both in size, in involvement and in influence. Most important of all, Alan has the ability to devote more time to ALAC matters than anyone else in our community - and he has demonstrated this commitment on many occasions in the past. He is well known in our community to be exceptionally hard working and committed to the At-Large cause - and in his position as ALAC Liaison to the GNSO he has demonstrated his ability to act as the voice of At-Large on many challenging issues. I have no reservations in nominating him.
