Morris' Cc: 'committee@alac.icann.org' Subject: 2008 NomCom : Sebastian Ricciardi Resume Dear Jacqueline, As requested by the LACRALO secretariat, please find attached my resume. Please note that I have been one of the ALAC appointees to the 2007 NomCom. I am sure that ALAC can ask for references about my contributions to the process to the chair of that committee - Mr. George Sadowsky, or it´s associate chair, Mr. Adam Peake. I would also like to share/disclose with ALAC members the following thoughts: My strong assertion about the need of a minimum knowledge about ICANN, it´s people and it´s process to serve on the NomCom could have been deemed erroneous by many LacRalo representatives, since I have received some criticism regarding that issue. Many ALSs representatives believe that these kind of processes must include new faces in order to be truly inclusive. I believe that it´s crucial for the ALAC representatives to the NomCom to have some basic knowledge about the ICANN processes and the people who is currently involved, in order to perform a good and fair assessment of the qualities of each candidate, and it´s potential contributions to the process. I also have in mind that according to the secret consultation performed by the LacRalo secretariat, I´m not the most supported candidate. I´m obviously disappointed about this fact, and I believe that both issues - my assertions regarding the appointee qualifications and the LacRalo favoritisms- are connected. Moreover, I suppose that one is a consequence of the other. In any case, I thought the committee could find useful the above offered explanations. Best regards, Sebastian
