As you will recall, the ALAC is allocated five positions in the Pre-Dublin Leadership Training Program (LTP). The leadership of each RALO was requested to identify two candidates. The ALAC is asked to identify a selection that is a mix of relatively new person needing training and ones with significant ICANN experience. AFRALO had previously asked that Seun Ojedeji be named in order to ensure timely visa processing for him. The ALAC and Liaisons to ICANN SO/ACs met in camera (with no outsiders) today to discuss the candidates and make a final selection. Those chosen were: APRALO: Maureen Hilyard EURALO: Yrjö Länsipuro LACRALO: Harold Arcos NARALO: Judith Hellerstein There is a possibility that Harold will not be able to obtain a visa in sufficient time to attend the LTP (or perhaps even the entire ICANN meeting). I will work with LACRALO leadership to consider alternatives if we discover that the visa issue for Harold cannot be overcome. Alan
