Resignation of the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO
It is with great regret that I must announce that Cheryl Langdon-Orr has resigned as the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council. We have recently been made aware that her selection as Liaison by the ALAC, which was finalized on 04 October 2014, was in violation of ICANN Bylaws, Article VII, Section 8 (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#VII-8) because she was still serving on the 2014 Nominating Committee at that time - the 2014 NomCom would not be dissolved until 16 October. It is clear that we need to name a replacement without any delay. Following significant consultation and discussion, with the full support of the ALT, I am recommending that we name Olivier Crepin-Leblond to replace Cheryl for the remainder of this term. Olivier is one of the few people who has actively participated in multiple GNSO activities, and based on his position as former Chair of the ALAC, has developed a good rapport which many of the people which whom the GNSO Liaison needs to work. I truly thank Olivier for his willingness to take this on. With this message, I request that At-Large Staff initiate a secret ballot vote of the ALAC to formalize this appointment. Alan
And just FYI I trust it should go without saying, but here it is *for the record* Olivier has my absolute and continuing support in this, and my deepest thanks for being able to step up at such an important time in the GNSO Council year... I trust that ALAC will be able to quickly confirm this so I can brief him for the upcoming March GNSO Council Meeting Agenda. *Cheryl Langdon-O**rr ... *(CLO) about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr [image: Cheryl Langdon-Orr on about.me] <http://about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr> On 5 March 2015 at 15:26, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:
