Dear Cheryl, Congratulations!!!![?][?][?][?] on making Chair Elect for NomCom! Being a babe in the system, I can only say that you are the woman most admired by me. In my "infancy" (in the system), I have never seen a more committed. dedicated person in ICANN and even beyond. For a volunteer to commit and consistently stay up for 1am to 5am morning calls, contribute substantively without breaking a sweat, lead, guide and mentor others and manage their daily affairs is simply an extraordinary human being. You are and remain an inspiration and we will continue to rely on your counsel and wisdom in days to come. In Prague, whilst we were celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the ALAC, and I was touched by a story you shared about how the ALAC at one stage was relegated to meet in someone's store room, and today the ALAC has and continues to command the respect because of all the hard work that you and others with you seeded into the ALAC to enable the building process of our beloved and wonderful At Large Family to impact policy processes. Warm and hearty congratulations from me personally and also from PICISOC. Warm Regards, -- . Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O.
