Dear all, first of all, I would like to congratulate Veronica and Sébastien for their election to the ALAC board! All my best wishes to the new board members. Félicitations, Sébastien, et mes meilleurs voeux pour ton mandat. Furthermore, I would like to thank all those who expressed their confidence to me and I will try and do my best to meet their expectations -- in the very interest of Internet users and the public interest.

Whilst Sebastian Bachollet and Veronica Cretu were also candidates for board seats, the elections process agreed on was that those elected to ALAC seats would not also occupy board seats, though they would be able to attend board meetings.
For those who wish to review the details of the election, and to ensure independent verification of the results published, the voting system provides a URL as follows:

Since one-half of the EURALO board was to be elected every year, as per the Bylaws for the region adopted in Lisbon, it was submitted for consideration by the ICANN staff that the top 1/2 (rounded to the nearest whole number) would serve a 2-year term, and the bottom 1/2 a 1-year term. Given the number of members of the board, that procedure would not resolve whether the top 4, or 5, would be serving 2-years. Perhaps the region will allow the board, in its first meeting, to decide this question.
On behalf of the staff of ICANN may I extend extend our congratulations to the newly-elected officers and wish them the best in their new roles. I look forward to working with them all.
