Short Message to ALAC and RALO representatives and friends of At Large
Dear All, Firstly I thank you all for the momentous task and efforts in the ICANN 45 Meeting. Whilst I could not be with you in person, I tried to connect remotely on occasion but the challenge of being awake for 24 hours is something that a mere mortal struggled with. Neverthless, it has been good to follow the progress and the discussions from afar. This has also been a good time to see how remote participation can be improved to keep ALSes engaged whilst they are at home. As you conclude the ICANN 45, I wish you all the very best. I am not sure if the Public Forum has concluded but I would ask that someone please raise that GAC should have influence on visa arrangements for members of Advisory Committees/SOs/NomComs and there should be a level of flexibility to enable them to collect it on arrival. Oksana, it would be great if you could speak up for some of us who have had issues with our visas. Neverthless, I would like to thank the global At Large community [you all are incredible and super AWESOME], and particularly the RALO Secretariats and Executives for the manner in which they have continued to coordinate the participation of all. Last but not least I would like to thank Oliver for his dynamic leadership of the ALAC and my colleagues in the ALAC for their immense contribution to advocacy for At Large. Thank you also to all the members of the ExCom for the dynamic work throughout the year, you have all been incredible Olivier, Carlton, Evan, Tijani and Rinalia. And in honour of all end users around the globe, I would also like to say farewell to our colleagues who are leaving the ALAC but are not leaving the At Large family at the end of ICANN 45. Thank you for your immense contribution. On the same token, I would like to welcome all the new re-appointments and new appointments to the ALAC. I look forward to learning from you all. I was pleased when Gunela reminded the community of the issue of "Access" and the heart of the work in ALAC is the issue of "Access" for the end user. It remains a privilege to serve you all. Warm Regards from a sunny Fiji, -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala ALAC P.S We need an ICANN meeting in a small island developing States..Hint Hint...any word on the Trinidad front?
Dear Sala, Please help me to collect ALL information on whom was rejected with visa. Best, Oksana 2012/10/19, Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro <salanieta.tamanikaiwaimaro@gmail.com>:
