Hi Everyone, Thanks for the nomination and am honored to continue to serve as the ALAC IDN Liaison. There are still a number of challenges for IDN ahead, but I am encouraged to see that our recent advice regarding the prioritization of IDN gTLD applications have been heard. As we move forward, besides thanking the many who have helped with the IDN WG, would like to especially express my appreciation for Rinalia's great help with the process. So I look forward to another year of fruitful work and relaying the progress (or non-progress :-P) from the various IDN related projects ongoing at ICANN.
