[APAC-Discuss] [ALAC] Honouring Olivier Crepin LeBlond

[Beran Gillen - Yahoo]

Sala this is a great initiative and I  all for it. When I became part of the ICANN community Olivier was one of the first faces I remembered because of his openness, enthusiasm and just plain old happy face:-). Always helpful, ready to explain and just approachable in general. 

Thanks for everything Olivier. We are grateful!!
