Thank You Alan I accept that nomination with great pleasure, and of course if endorsed / elected in this bylaw mandated role, I will perform to the best of my ability on behalf of At-Large and the ALAC... and YES we can't have me getting bored now, can we ;-) While the ALAC is considering their bylaw mandated Liaisons to the Support Organisations, I would very much like to ask *if you would accept a nomination from me to continue in your role as GNSO Liaison*, even though you are no longer a serving member of the ALAC after next weeks ICANN AGM; Your experience and the respect you hold in the GNSO Council resulting from you undertaking this role for several years now, is in my less than humble view, far to valuable to our community and the ALAC to loose, especially at this time, so I am* formally nominating you to continue on the role of GNSO Liaison, *and ask you consider accepting it very seriously indeed*;* I do realize that at this time, there is no guaranteeing of any travel support to attend ICANN Meetings if you are not on the ALAC or a supported RALO Leader, but this is a matter that the next ALAC ExCom and the Bidget and Finance Sub-Committee, will be raising in our future budget planning and requests for consideration in the coming fiscal year, (I personally believe the argument that the bylaw mandated SO Liaisons being supported by constituency travel {even of shared cost centers are the ALAC and the receiving SO} is a strong one) based on aspects of the ALAC Review Recommendations and our current Review Implementation processes, and of course does fit within the current ICANN Strategic Planning primary objectives... So if you are willing to risk the role requiring in the short term some remote participation if we fail to get such full funding this coming year then I would not see that as in any way an impediment. I look forward to your affirmative reply, Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) On 2 December 2010 11:38, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:

Election Call for ALAC Liaisons to serve from Dec 2010 to ICANN AGM 2011.
I would like nominate Cheryl Langdon-Orr for the position of ALAC Liaison to the ccNSO.
My rationale is as follows:
1. Cheryl has a strong working relationship with both the outgoing and incoming ccNSO Chairs.
2. Cheryl has a long ccTLD history and so is in a good position to develop meaningful relationships with individual ccNSO members, helping to forge links between ccTLDs an regional At-Large organizations.
3. DNS Security (and the infamous DNS CERT discussion) and Accountability and Transparency are two issues that are important to both the ALAC and the ccNSO and Cheryl is arguably the best person to represent us in these areas.
4. With Cheryl no longer being ALAC Chair and a member of the ATRT, as a mere ALAC Vice-Chair, she is going to bored out of her mind, and she needs some extra things to focus on.
