I would like to nominate one of our newly NomCom appointed, Members of ALAC, Vanda Scartezini for one of the Vice Chair positions:-
While I am not a member of ALAC, I implore you to select, for your executive, from amongst the members that were sent by RALOs. They have a level of accountability that does not exist for the NomComm appointees, and by definition an understanding of the At-Large community culture that is likely lacking in people brought into ALAC from other constituencies. The primary goal of ALAC is to represent the grassroots public interest to ICANN. It can do this best when its leaders come from within that grassroots. In any case, how about giving some opportunities to (relative) ICANN newcomers? The RALO reps already come from positions of leadership in their respective ALSs, so there are no complete novices here. Evan Leibovitch
