Like Annette, I am also leaving ALAC, and now leaving for the airport from the hotel. It's been a real experience. Ups and downs. For ALAC, it was five years. Interim, and then elected. Bringing the voices of the individual users to ICANN process is, as we all experience and witness, not an easy task for anyone. I am questioing myself - how much have I done? To some extent, with good result - now that all RALOs are in place, things are starting to work. BUT, I also share that there are a lot to be done. I appreciate all of your help and support and leadership and hard working, frank exchange, debate, thinkgs like that. The game is not over - not for me, not for ALAC. IT is just beginning. Hoping we can change --- more. As the shuttle to the airport is coming soon, I have to close my laptop. I will open it again asap, I will hopefully see you there in Mexico, and beyond. I miss ALAC, but not atlarge. I miss you guys, but not that much. all the best, izumi
