7he ALAC Appointee Selection Committee has recommended to the ALAC that Yrjö Länsipuro be named as the ALAC Liaison to the GAC for the 2016-17 year. With this message, I am initiating a Consensus Call of the ALAC ratifying the selection of Yrjö Länsipuro as the ALAC Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee for the 2016-7 year effective the end of the ICANN 57 meeting in Hyderabad. The Consensus Call will end at 23:59 on Friday, 04 November 2016. If there are any questions of comments, please direct them to either this list or to me directly. Although message indicating support are welcome, they are not necessary. Should this Consensus Call fail due to significant opposition (greater than 20% as specified by ALAC RoP 12.3.3.1), we will revert to a formal vote. Alan
