[ALAC] [ALAC-Internal] [ALAC-Announce] Community Call with Board Liaison Candidates

Sun Sep 20 12:46:07 CDT 2009

Hello

I wish to withdraw my candidature to the position of ALAC liaison to the
Board. I would be more interested in seeking a nomination to the ICANN Board
as a voting Board member during the 2010 nomination process.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy
