Thanks Olivier, Just to be clear, the ALAC Rules of Procedure (section 9.2 to be specific) say "Anyone who will or has a chance to meet eligibility requirements after the next ICANN Annual General Meeting can be nominated; it is not necessary for nominees to meet eligibility requirements at the moment of the nomination, but, if elected, they will have to meet them before taking their seat." I don't recall the origin of the expression "or has a chance to meet eligibility requirements", but it did seem tailor made for your situation and was the rationale allowing me to nominate you.

Dear Alan,
thank you for your kind email entitled "ALAC Officer Nominations" in which you nominate me for the position of Chair of ALAC. I feel very honoured to see my name being suggested and take this opportunity to thank everyone who has shown support for the nominations you have sent to the list.
Before answering, may I remind you that I am currently a member of the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom).
Bylaws provisions explaining the rules of appointment in this particular case are found under Article VII, Section 8 as follows:
Section 8: INELIGIBILITY FOR SELECTION BY NOMINATING COMMITTEE
"No person who serves on the Nominating Committee in any capacity shall be eligible for selection by any means to any position on the Board or any other ICANN body having one or more membership positions that the Nominating Committee is responsible for filling, until the conclusion of an ICANN annual meeting that coincides with, or is after, the conclusion of that person's service on the Nominating Committee." The end of my NomCom service coincides with the end of the Cartagena Annual General Meeting. After careful consideration, I would be my pleasure to express my willingness to be considered in the selection of this 2010-2011 ALAC function, which as there are no other nominees standing for this role, would be effective at the close of the 2010 ICANN AGM when I am indeed no longer committed in my NomCom role, and am also able to be selected to serve on the ALAC as a EURALO Representative for the remainder of the term left vacant with Patrick Vande Walle's resignation also effective at that time. Expecting that the above conditions will be fulfilled, I accept your nomination wholeheartedly.
Best regards,
Olivier
