Thank you Fouad and the APRALO community. I am very proud and honoured to be able to take on this role on behalf of APRALO. It was not an easy election standing against a colleague who has been a great support to me during my introduction to ICANN, as well as at IGFs in the past. I also thank Sala for her congratulations and for her past representation of the Pacific/APRALO on the ALAC. Thank you to the APRALO community for your support and encouragement, and I truly hope that I can justify your faith in my ability to deliver on your behalf on the ALAC.

Congratulations to Maureen! Sala, excellent idea. I think having the ALAC regional elect members participate in the regular ALAC meetings/calls from now onwards would be a good preparation and transition mechanism.

Dear APRALO community,

The recent ALAC elections was to elect my successor. My term will end following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the ALAC which will occur during the ICANN 48 in Buenos Aires.

For the time being, I intend to ask the ALAC to consider having those who have been elected (APRALO representative elect) to ALAC meetings so there is a seamless transition. I suspect that the Executive Committee of the ALAC will no doubt be organizing a call for orientation for Maureen and others.

Again the community must be congratulated for taking to the ballot and for participating.

Warm Regards, Sala

Thank you Rinalia I agree with you and Sala. I think it's a great idea for members-elect to be able to participate in future ALAC meetings in the run up to Buenos Aires. I have attended meetings in the past as an observer, but I'm looking forward to taking a more active role.

Hi Everyone

First, a very big congratulation to Maureen. she has been an absolute standout in representing the Pacific area - making sure they are in our minds. And she was also an absolute standout in her help for our very successful APRALO showcase in Beijing. I think, with Maureen's tireless energy and enthusiasm, I can safely retire! (no, I am not)

But also a big thank you to Fouad. We still need everyone on board, and Fouad, we will need you and your wise input, so remember- you are still a very valued member of APRALO.

Thank you Holly. It was not difficult to put myself up for this position on behalf of APRALO after "the Beijing experience" and after meeting and getting to know more of my ALS colleagues. There is a positive energy that is enhanced by the diversity of the APRALO team - diversity, not only of culture and language but also of skills and experience - and this is channelled towards active engagement by good leadership. It's certainly a great place to be. Thank you everyone.
