FW: Resignation letter - ALAC Liaison to the ccNSO
by Katrina Sataki March 5, 2018

March 5, 2018

Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately, Maureen has to step down from her role as the ALAC liaison to the ccNSO Council (see attachment). Do not desprair, though - she is not going to leave the ICANN world. On the contrary, she is going to take upon a role of the Vice Chair of ALAC! Congratulations and best wishes! Although I am very sad that Maureen steps down as the ALAC liason, I am glad that we will continue our fruitful collaboration in the future. ALAC has already appointed new liason – Barrack Otieno (aka GM of AFTLD). We all know Barrack very well – that makes me pretty certain that we will be able to recognise him even with his new hat on. Thank you Maureen for your hard work in order to bring our communities closer and help us to understand each other better! Welcome Barrack in your new capacity! Kind regards, ]{atrina
