Hello, ALAC! Congratulations to the ALAC and to the new Leadership Team! The information on the new team has been shared with the Board and it is very warmly received. I have no doubt that the ALAC and its new leadership will enhance the impact of the At-Large in ICANN. I am heartened by all the soul-searching and hard work that the At-Large has engaged in to ensure improvements for a stronger community that represents end user interest. I know there is still quite a bit of work left and I can see that Alan is rolling up his sleeve to get it done. His leadership and contributions to ICANN are acknowledged and appreciated by the Board and the CEO. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the outgoing team. They have done a tremendous service to the community. You all continue to make me extremely proud to be the At-Large selected director. With best wishes for the future, Rinalia On Thu, 10 Aug 2017 at 8:32 PM, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:
Nominations for the 2017-2018 ALT closed on 08 August 2017. Four nominations had been received, one per region:
AFRALO: Seun Ojedeji APRALO: Maureen Hilyard EURALO: Bastiaan Goslings LACRALO: Bartlett Morgan
All four have accepted the nomination. In accordance with our RoP 16.3: *"If, following the close of the acceptance period or after all nominations have been accepted, there is only one candidate for a given position, or if as the process continues one or more candidates withdraw leaving only one remaining candidate, the sole candidate will be declared the winner by acclamation without the need for a decision of the ALAC."*, all four are declared to have been appointed by acclamation to the serve on the 2017-2018 ALT.
There were no explicit nominations for Vice-Chair. As specified in the Call for Nominations, in such a case, the incoming Chair may select the Vice-Chairs. I have asked Maureen and Bastiaan to serve in this capacity and they have both accepted.
I thank Sean, Maureen, Bastiaan and Bartlett for agreeing to serve the ALAC and At-Large in this way. I am delighted with this team, and look forward to working with them.
