I am extremely humbled and honoured by the confidence and trust shown in me by members of the At Large/LACRALO community.

Vanda - my amazing Music Night and IGF 2015 (João Pessoa) singing colleague - thank you so very much for the multiple nominations - however, my current modality within ICANN (I've been functioning in a Community Improvement/Mentorship role since 2016), especially as it relates to ensuring that I remain focused on ensuring that ICANN's representation levels and quality among underserved groups are increased in an equitable and timely manner - has resulted in my difficult but long considered decision to focus ONLY on the original Nominating Committee seat nomination from Sergio Salinas Porto which I had previously accepted. 

Once again - thank you sincerely for the nomination Sergio. I commit to working extremely hard to do justice to your, and indeed, LACRALO's confidence in me to participate in the upcoming Nominating Committee.

As such, with respect to my nominations, I would like to most respectfully:

ACCEPT - ALAC delegate to the Nominating Committee

DECLINE - ALAC Member (representing LACRALO)

DECLINE - LACRALO Secretary

Thank you all once again and I look forward to productive relationships.

Best wishes,

Tracy Hackshaw
