Dear Veronica, Dear Bastiaan, thank you both for agreeing to put your name forward for the ALAC seat selected by EURALO. The next step, we'll have a vote of all ALS representatives, but before this, I know that both of you have been open to questions and I would like to kick off the discussion with a question to both of you: Q1. what topics are you most interested in ICANN? Q2. As an ALAC representative, some focus more on capacity building and organisation building. Others focus more on policy. Which focus will you have: Capacity Building or Policy? Q3. If there was one thing that you'd like to achieve when sitting on the ALAC, what would it be? There is no right or wrong answer, it's just to get a better idea of your future focus. There will soon be a follow-up with a reminder of the calendar. I expect that we can conduct a single issue call where members can ask questions from both of you. This will be proposed shortly. Kindest regards, Olivier
