Message from Rinalia Abdul Rahim - ICANN Board Director Selected by the At-Large
by Program Admin Nov. 17, 2016

Nov. 17, 2016

Dear All, As per request from the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we are forwarding the message below from Rinalia Abdul Rahim, the ICANN Board Director selected by the At-Large Community. Best regards, Heidi Ullrich, Ariel Liang, Terri Agnew, and Yesim Nazlar At-Large Board Member Selection Program Admin Staff From: <alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> on behalf of Rinalia Abdul Rahim <rinalia.abdulrahim(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 8:52 PM To: ALAC Working List <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [ALAC] ICANN Board Director Selected by the At-Large Dear members of the At-Large community, I write to let you know that due to personal reasons, I will not be applying for a second term as the At-Large selected Director on the ICANN Board. I encourage those interested in the position to apply. Please excuse the short notice as my family needed the time to discuss the matter with me. I care deeply about the quality of my service to the public interest and to the community. I know that without sufficient time available, I would not be able to do them justice. After the Hyderabad meeting, I became aware of constraints on the time that I will have available to serve effectively in a second term I have received tremendous support and encouragement from the community, board and staff in my years of service. It has made it an absolute joy for me to serve despite the heavy demands on time. I commit to completing my current term with the same level of dedication that I have demonstrated to date, and I urge those interested in carrying the baton forward to apply for the position so that the At-Large may choose from a strong pool of qualified candidates. Thank you so much for your support and faith in me. It has been, and continues to be, my absolute privilege and honour to serve. Sincerely, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director selected by the At-Large (2014-2017)
