ALAC Position
by Neli odishvili April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

Greetings, In response to Charles' email, I’d also note that Shah Zahidur Rahman appears to be a respectful candidate for the ALAC position. With over 15 years in the Internet industry and experience across government, private, and non-profit sectors, he brings a well-rounded perspective to digital governance. His current role as Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, along with his active involvement in ICANN and regional initiatives like APSIG, reflects his ongoing commitment to DNS abuse policy, cybersecurity, data governance, and digital rights. His background suggests he could add valuable insights to the committee. Sincerely, Neli
