[ALAC] 2016-2018 ALAC Leadership Team

[Alan Greenberg]

Thanks Harold.

We do have gender balance in the ALT overall (or 
as much balance as you can have with 5 people) 
and that was one of my main targets. Although 
balance in the V-Cs would be good for optics, it 
does not really impact the decision process. V-Cs 
commit to a higher level of work, but all ALT 
members are treated equally in terms of 
discussion and decisions (when there are decisions, which is not that often).

In this particular case, both Veronica and Holly 
had time constraints which prevented them from 
taking on the extra load, and I am just grateful 
that they accepted to ALT position at all. 
Veronica in particular has just taken on a new 
role at home, one that was not expected when she 
decided to take on the ALAC Member position, and 
I was worried it might impact her decision to 
accept the ALT role. And both Tijani and León 
have a great history of tireless work on behalf of At-Large and ICANN!
