Dear EURALO members, I join Alan Greenberg, ALAC Chair, in regretting Veronica Cretu's resignation as an ALAC member. Having received her resignation email too, I congratulated her on her career success. But Veronica is not leaving our community altogether: she has confirmed to me that she will remain involved in EURALO and following EURALO's work. I wish her every success in the future. In the meantime, I will ask the EURALO Board to decide on the selection of a new ALAC member to fill her seat, with the understanding that time is of the essence, since the ICANN Copenhagen meeting is not far away. Finally, Best Wishes for a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year 2017 Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ALAC] ALAC Resignation Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2017 14:30:50 -0500 From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> To: ALAC <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org> It is with regret that I must announce that Veronica Cretu has submitted her resignation as an ALAC Member. When she agreed to run for the ALAC position within EURALO, she believed that she would have sufficient time to devote to ICANN. Due to a number of ongoing and new professional assignments, she feels that is no longer the case. Veronica is not the type of person to make a commitment to work with the ALAC and then not deliver on her commitment, so she feels that in good conscience, she must resign. I have notified Olivier Crepin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO and he along with the EURALO Board will decide how to fill the vacancy. Hopefully this will be done with due haste to allow EURALO to be fully represented on the ALAC and in Copenhagen. Veronica holds a number of positions on ALAC sub-groups, and I will be working with EURALO and the two remaining European ALAC members to ensure that EURALO is well represented.
