CONGRATULATIONS, GARETH!!! ________________________________ From: na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org on behalf of Evan Leibovitch Sent: Mon 1/19/2009 4:07 AM To: NA Discuss Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Nomination period open for interim NARALO rep to ALAC Hello all, In accordance with the process approved at last week's NARALO conference call. Upon receipt of Robert Guerra's resignation from his position of NARALO rep to ALAC I put out a call for nominations with a closing deadline of the end of Sunday (yesterday). By the end of that day I have received a number of questions regarding the position, and a clarification from Nick regarding the term of this interim position. However, I have received only a single nomination, from Gareth Shearman. The nomination period is now closed. In accordance with the procedures outlined and agreed to last week, since only one nomination was received before the deadline it is my intention to notify the Chair of ALAC and ICANN staff that Gareth will be serving the remainder of Robert's term as the NARALO representative to ALAC, effective January 21. The purpose of the two-day delay is to offer a forum for any objections to the execution of the procedure as agreed to at last week's NARALO teleconference. I want to thank Gareth for his offer of service, congratulate him on his pending appointment, and wish him all the best in the role he be about to take on. I have no doubt whatsoever of his qualification and suitability for the role. I also wish to thank the members of NARALO for enabling a selection process that I believed to be expedient yet fair and transparent. And I also want to thank Robert for the service he has provided us as the NARALO representative until now. - Evan ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss_atlarge-lists.ica...
