Dear Lacralo community, I'm sharing this information sent by Heidi to the ALAC mailing list and I encourage you to submit your EOIs for ALAC liaison on the GNSO.

This is a call for Expressions of Interest (EoI) for the next ALAC Liaison to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)

While the one-year term of the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO will officially start on 22 October, the last day of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the selected candidate will be expected to immediately begin shadowing Justine Chew, who currently holds the position.

As noted in the ALAC Rules of Procedure Adjunct Document Number 1 on the Position Descriptions for ALAC Members, Liaisons, and Appointees:

• g) ALAC Liaisons are expected to attend and participate in ALAC meetings, provide updates on their activities as liaisons, attend the meetings of the body they are a liaison to (the “receiving body”), participate effectively as an advocate for At-Large in the receiving body, and where necessary propose responses from the ALAC to the receiving body on policy or other questions.

• h) Liaisons and those leading working groups should regularly report on activities of the group to the ALAC and the Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG). At a minimum, such reports should highlight issues and activities that the ALAC/At-Large need to focus on.

• i) ALAC Members and Liaisons are encouraged to represent ALAC, At-Large and their positions in non-ICANN environments.

Interested candidates are requested to send their EoI to At-Large Staff by Friday, 13 March at 23:59 UTC. The ALAC Leadership Team will review the EoIs received followed by ALAC ratification.

Kind regards,
