Dear All: I have the unfortunate duty to forward the news below - which some of you may have already seen - from the Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee. May I say personally - and I'm sure on behalf of all the ICANN Staff too - that we wish you a speedy recovery Annette - and I'm sure you'll be back in your usual form soon :) Begin forwarded message:

Dear ALAC fellows,
For weeks and weeks I have been hoping to recover, but my lungs are still causing trouble. It now became clear that I will not be able to take part in the Lisbon meeting.
In view of the uncertainty about how long I will not not be able to function fully as ALAC Chair, I have come to the conclusion that I should ask you to elect someone else from our team to carry the responsibilities of ALAC Chair. This has been a very difficult decision for me as I was earnestly trying to discharge the responsibilities you have entrusted me with.
Meanwhile, I'm slowly recovering and hope to be back at my regular job with the new responsibilities that have been kindly assigned to me as soon as possible. Needless to say, I also look forward to being back on the ALAC team and wish you all and ALAC the very best.
Once again, I would like to thank you all for your trust, support, cooperation and understanding.
Annette -- Regards,
