This is a recommendation to the ALAC that I would be happy to support when the time comes. On top of his other skills in use for our community, Glenn is definitely an asset to the At-Large on NomCom. It makes good sense to keep him working for all of us. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= Message: 2

Hi All I am formally withdrawing from the self-nomination for NARALO Secretary but I will self nominate myself again for NOMCOM.

As I mentioned in passing the NomCom process has been quite challenging this round due a host of reasons that I am not able to disclose. It's critical that the NomCom members understand that ALAC is important in the Stakeholder model and our voice has the community interest at heart and as the NARALO member I have made extra efforts to educate the various members and ALAC members too that we need to project a professional image and presence in the decision making process. A couple of weeks ago this would not be my choice but upon reflection I think my contribution is important to keep the balance.

Thanks for the support

Glenn
