Dear Olivier, All of the nominees are excellent and should continue in their roles, particularly as there is no competition for each position. It would be wonderful if nominees/liaisons who think that they may not continue beyond the next term would also agree to train individuals interested in serving as future liaisons to build capacity within the ALAC and At-Large. I understand that Cheryl Langdon Orr has agreed to mentor 2 individuals, who have volunteered to be trained as potential future liaison/s for the ccNSO. This is a great example to follow.

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.
