Welcome Jacob. Thank you for the introduction Liz. Are there any other support documents that you could point me to? i.e. org chart, job descriptions, etc., anything that might help me better understand your request? Much thanks in advance and best wishes to Jacob with his new position. -rwr Liz Williams wrote:

I said on the Council call today that ICANN’s first Regional Liaison has been appointed. Jacob Malthouse is responsible for Canada and the Caribbean . He is based in the MdR office reporting to Theresa Swinehart.
MF and I had a conference call with Jacob yesterday to give him a brief overview of the GNSO and we also discussed how the RL function could support the work of the GNSO especially in terms of outreach and building participation.
If you have specific ideas about how the GNSO can make good use of the regional liaison initiatives, could you please let Maria Farrell know? She will funnel great ideas to Jacob which we can expect to see in action over the next few months.
