Dear Cheryl and Yrjö, Congratulations for your new roles. You still have other assignment to carry in various working groups. As already said my many people this a very good team. I discovered Cheryl many years ago and she has the same energy and time commitment and she is ready to serve the community. Same for Yrjö who I had a pleasure to work with in the nomination commitee. Please keep doing the hard work for the community.

You have both proven your ability to serve ICANN on countless occasions and I am thrilled that the Board has recognised that you may continue to serve the ICANN community, albeit in a slightly different capacity. Facilitating the cross-community range of views on the Nominating Committee to a consensus is a challenge. I am saying this from personal experience, having served as a member of the NomCom a few years ago. What it exciting though, is that you will lead a group of people to find consensus on ICANN's big picture. It is challenging, but immensely gratifying too. Having worked with both of you for several years, I can safely say that the Board has found excellent candidates and I wish you both every success in the work you are set to accomplish, with a committee of exceptional minds chosen by the community, for the community. Warmest regards, Olivier Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac At-Large Online: http://www.atlarge.icann.org ALAC Working Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Advisory+Committee+(ALA...)
