Many thanks, Vittorio, for your hard work, and Committee members and
at-large participants, for your confidence in me.

I look forward to working with you all to represent the diversity of
interests and opinions within At-Large.  I hope we'll be able to advance
common interests in making the at-large public full participants in
ICANN policymaking.
    

Wendy, you should immediately get in touch with Diane Schroeder and 
arrange your travel to the Board retreat of October 4.

Also, please let me know who is replacing me in the policy work on the 
RAA submission and amendments. The deadline is today, but I have 
obtained some more days from staff. The document is basically ready, but 
there is the need to incorporate the round of comments to the second 
draft, and get it approved by the Committee according to its rules of 
procedure.

It would be hypocritical to thank the Committee for expressions of 
appreciation for my work, as there is none - so I will not be doing it; 
I will rather offer my apologies for such a failure in matching the 
spirit and expectations of the Committee in these few months. But I do 
wish good luck to the ALAC; it will now need to grow beyond quarreling 
on procedures, staging elaborate elections for positions, regularly 
asking for additional budget, and blaming ICANN staff and leadership (or 
the Board liaison...) for whatever failure. I have seen several bright 
and enthusiastic people among the newcomers, so - after the process of 
getting rid of old timers is concluded - I think that the objective can 
be accomplished successfully. Thus I look forward to dense and fruitful 
policy discussions on the ALAC list and on all the RALO lists.

Regards,
