Greetings I would like to thank the NARALO leadership and membership for the nomination ( put forward by Alfredo Calderon) for myself to serve once again in the capacity of NARALO Secretariat. I do accept the nomination and the results due to acclaimation and will conduct to the best of my ability the duties of the office and will work with our chair and community to continue our mission. It's important to acknowledge the massive challenges that Judith and Eduardo have faced for the past two years trying to keep our ship sailing amidst the Covid 19 pandemic. Its impact has seriously hurt the entire community that will take tremendous effort to return some form of normal. We only can look into 2022 and the plans in ICANN San Juan in March 2022 and making a strong impact which will include our NARALO General Assembly. If you recall the great success we had at our last event in New Orleans and the 10th anniversary celebration in San Juan we can see great things happening together. As I continue to serve NOMCOM which goes into an intensive phase of deep dives and interviews ( this has been most challenging as well) I will hope to get more involved in NARALO activities once again after the ICANN Nomcom selection process is over .
