As you are aware, Leon Sanchez as the incoming Board member will no longer be able to act as a Co-Chair of the CCWG-Accountability. The ALAC has considered its options related to whether to appoint a replacement, given that the CCWG is expected to finish its work in the coming (approximately) six months, and if so, who to appoint. It was agreed that the ALAC should appoint a replacement. In considering its options, there was a strong consensus that the person appointed must have been an active participant in the CCWG process to date. I am delighted to announce that the ALAC has appointed Tijani Ben Jemaa to replace Leon Sanchez as the ALAC-appointed Co-Chair of the CCWG-Accountability, effective the end of the ICANN60 meeting in Abu Dhabi. Alan Greenberg Chair, ALAC
