Dear colleagues, a warm hello to you all and hope this finds you well! Some of you might have seen/read the news already, others might have not - given the vacations, however, it is my pleasure to share with you the fact that 2013 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections for nine leadership positions within ICANN. Those selected will take up their positions after the end of ICANN's Annual General Meeting, which will take place during the ICANN Public meeting scheduled for November 17-21, 2013, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can find out who are the appointees by accessing http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-02sep13-en.htm Additionally, I want to thank my EURALO colleagues for entrusting me with the responsibilities of the 2013 NomCom member - and to confess that NomCom 2013 experience has been a rewarding and positively challenging exercise, and I had the privilege to work side by side with very professional colleagues. NomCom 2013 Chair and leadership team has done a great job, coordinating the work and managing the tasks of the committee in a very effective manner. I thank you all very much!
