Dear Alan, Thanks for your email and your wishes. Happy New Year to you and the colleagues of ALAC! Of course, thanks to our families for their support. Looking forward to continue working with all of you in this year full of activities. Best Regards, Fatima 2015-01-05 19:13 GMT-03:00 Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>:
As we start a new year, the ALAC is involved with more important issues than I can ever recall in my last years.
- The IANA transition and associated accountability tracks are not only of crucial importance to ICANN, but directly includes many ALAC members plus Cheryl. - We are embarking on a review of ALS criteria and expectations which I believe will have a significant (and beneficial impact in the future). - We are about to start a new cyclical review of At-Large and the ALAC - The see the pending reviews of the new gTLD process and other processes potentially leading to a second round of new gTLDs will without doubt involve At-Large to a great extent.
There is a somewhat cynical expression: "No good deed goes unpunished". The ALAC is now generally accepted as being a strong and beneficial force in ICANN. As our reward (or perhaps punishment), we are expected to keep contributing and help make ICANN a more friendly place for the "public interest".
It will be a busy year, but I hope that it will be a rewarding one for all of us.
Best wishes for a rewarding 2015 to you, and to all of your families for allowing you to donate so much of your time and energy to ICANN.
Alan
