Appointment of the ALAC Liaison to the
<X-TAB> </X-TAB>GAC<BR><BR><BR>Dear All,<BR> <BR>Alan
Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, has asked that the following message be
distributed.<BR> <BR>============================<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR>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.<BR> <BR>Over the
coming months, the ALAC will issue a Call for Nominations for the position
for the 2016-2017 ICANN year.<BR> <BR>The formal results of the ALAC
vote follow.<BR> <BR>Alan Greenberg<BR>Chair,
ALAC<BR> <BR>=============================<BR> <BR>Kindly note
that the vote held by the ALAC on the proposed ratification of the ALAC
Liaison to the GAC is now closed.
<BR> <BR><B>Motion:<BR> <BR></B>Whereas the ALAC proposed to the
Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) that the two groups exchange
Liaisons;<BR> <BR>Whereas the GAC has agreed;<BR> <BR>Whereas
there is insufficient time to enter into a formal nomination, evaluation and
selection process;<BR> <BR>Whereas the ALAC decided by consensus that
the ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) should recommend a person to fill the role of
Liaison from the ALAC to the GAC on an interim basis;<BR> <BR>Whereas
the ALT has unanimously recommended that Yrjö Länsipuro fill that role in
consideration of his experience as a GAC Member as well as the many other
roles he has played within ICANN and
At-Large.<BR> <BR>Therefore:<BR> <BR>The ALAC ratifies this
recommendation and appoints Yrjö Länsipuro as the ALAC Liaison to the GAC
for a period beginning immediately and ending at the conclusion of the ICANN
57 meeting currently scheduled to be held in Hyderabad India, 03-09 November
2016.<BR> <BR>As at Poll close: Thursday 23 June 2016 23:59
