>The ALAC has been very fortunate in its recent

>At-Large has been led by Cheryl and Olivier,
>individuals who have tirelessly and passionately
>worked to make At-Large an important and
>effective part of ICANN, and to advance the
>causes of users in the ICANN ecosystem. Note that
>I have carefully said "Lead" and not "Manage", and that has been crucial.
>
>You willingness to accept a position of
>Vice-Chair is very much appreciated, and I hope
>that the ALAC will take you up on that.
>
>Should the ALAC choose to make me the next Chair,
>I commit to working with a similar level of
>energy and passion, and I hope that history will
>also see me as an effective leader.
>
>I clearly do not have ALL of the proper
>qualifications, since my initials are not a
>permutation of C, L and O. But I will work hard to overcome this failing!
>
>I ask that Staff forward this message to
>ALAC-Announce in accordance with the Chair selection rules.
