Roberto and all, The window is open and the leaders of At-Large already show a lot of added value. All the feedback given to me regarding At-Large are all very positive. During the presentation to the staff Fadi said: "Each time I am going to a country I will meet leaders from the At-Large community and from the local ALSes". It seems that other senior staff will do the same. I hope that At-Large will see that also as a mutual help to strengthen the relationship, the outcome of At-Large and ICANN but also the engagement. He also launch the initiative for a new strategic approach for Africa with a lot of members of At-Large. Similar initiative is launch for LAC region. He comments very positively all the interaction with Olivier as Chair of ALAC. Some decision for the new organization comes from comments by At-Large (compliance, communication, Outreach…). Beside the hard work of At-Large staff, all that definitely help the new position for Heidi. I am sure that At-Large (ALAC, ALSes, members of ALS, individual participants…) will show that they deserve such attention and position in the organization. May I suggest that At-Large start to think if the new staff organization have consequences on it's own processes and priorities?

Let me join in congratulating Heidi. Her work has been appreciated for quite a long time now.
The new position in the organization chart, while being a recognition of Heidi's excellent work, is also a challenge for the AtLarge: it implies that the community feedback will be even closer to the ears of the CEO. As I stated in the previous message, commenting about the fact that the new CEO is listening, we have to make sure that we use this window of opportunity to show the added value of ALAC to the policy development process. A former manager of mine used to say that you only have one chance to do a good first impression. This is the time to use the window that has been opened. Cheers, R.

Thanks for the excellent news, Sébastien.
Congratulations to Heidi. This is a great piece of news and is certainly due to the hard work that she and her Team have furnished over the years. It took a change of leadership for this hard work to be recognised finally!
I have a feeling that we are opening a new Chapter for ICANN, and certainly a new Chapter for At-Large. Great news for eveyone. Kind regards,
Olivier
