<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, has asked that the following message be distributed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">During the ICANN55 meeting in Marrakech, the ALAC proposed to the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) that the two groups exchange Liaisons. The ALAC had long discussed the
possibility of this happening, and it was with great pleasure that the GAC agreed in principle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">More recently we have had formal approval to appoint our Liaison. There was a consensus within the ALAC that we should not delay and should have an appointment in time for
the ICANN56 Helsinki meeting. Because of the short time-frame, the ALAC requested that the ALAC Leadership Team (the ALT, with one ALAC Member from each of the five regions) make a recommendation to the ALAC on who to appoint for the interim period from now
until the end of the ICANN Annual General Meeting, ICANN57, scheduled to be held in Hyderabad India in November 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">The ALT recommended that Yrjö Länsipuro, be appointed. Yrjö is a very well respected member of the At-Large Community, having served us in a number of capacities and now being
the EURALO delegate to the Nominating Committee. Prior to his involvement in At-Large, Yrjö served on the GAC representing Finland. Accordingly, he is very well versed on both sides of this new role.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">The ALAC has now voted and I am delighted to report that Yrjö has been appointed as the Liaison to the GAC for the interim period until the end of ICANN57.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro"">Over the coming months, the ALAC will issue a Call for Nominations for the position for the 2016-2017 ICANN year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
