[ALAC] TR: [At-Large] ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 2 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board

Wed Dec 1 10:51:45 UTC 2010

Sebastien,

Have been busy getting things in order before the ICANN trip so pardon
my belated gratz.

It is a tough choice between Alan and yourself. Both of you come very
close as we can see from the polling.

In anycase, I am certain you would make an excellent addition to the
board and would represent At-Large well.

Once again, congratulations!

-James Seng
