[ALAC] Julie Hammer

I am absolutely delighted to report that Julie Hammer has been selected as the new Vice-Chair of SSAC. Rod Rasmussen has been selected as the incoming Chair. For those who don't know him, Rod is a very respected expert in cyber security, has been headily involved the Anti-Phishing Working Group, and within ICANN, in WHOIS-RDS activities. Both appointments, which must be confirmed by the ICANN Board in Abu Dhabi, take effect 01 January, 1918. Although losing Julie as our Liaison to SSAC will be difficult for us, it is a marvellous confirmation that we are not alone in our respect and admiration for Julie. Alan
