[APAC-Discuss] ANNOUNCEMENT: Change in 2019 APRALO Individual Representative

Wed Jul 3 08:01:05 UTC 2019

Thank you for your comment Fariz.

However, I think that if you were to look within At-Large you will find
that we have people who have their feet in one or two other sections of the
ICANN community. We are trying to break down the silos and trying to work
together a lot more so that we can further our understanding about the
different interests that each community section serves.

Mili is new to our system but eager to learn more about ICANN. NCUC offers
an opportunity for a voice for the Asia Pacific region and I admire that
she has opted for a leadership role that will heighten the views of the
Asia Pacific in a section where that view is lacking but also a section
that At-Large has been working with for some time to build better relations
and understandings. What Mili has also done is to enable another At-Large
member to join the leadership ranks. Welcome to Hanan Khatib.

Just as others who work with other sections of iCANN because it is their
day job, yet continue to join the At-Large CPWG and bring the perspective
of their other community to our conversations, I am sure that Mili too will
be able to bring a NCUC view to our discussions and vice versa.  We must
celebrate her decision which I know she feels will give the better value
for At-Large.

Maureen
ALAC Chair
