Dear José, congratulations on your new appointment to interim LACRALO President. As you know, the challenges facing ICANN in the run-up to the opening of applications for new gTLDs, are colossal. The At-Large community has an essential part to play in the resolution of these ICANN challenges: our geographical diversity is an asset for ICANN, since we are able to think global, and act local. This involvement is only possible with regions that are vibrant and full of energy, looking for local consensus and bringing that consensus to the other RALOs. On behalf of the ALAC, I therefore welcome you and look forward to continue working with you and with the LACRALO region to bring the voice of your culturally rich and diverse population to the ICANN table. Yours sincerely, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond On 02/08/2011 02:07, Dev Anand Teelucksingh wrote :
