<div dir="ltr">I have been staying out of this discussion. As
Evan indicated he is one our sponsored NARALO participated to
NASIG , GDPR for Citizens and if is inclined to staff for the
iCANN meeting.
<div>Evan has been a major contributor to the previous ATLAS
events, establishment of NARALO, co founder of ISOC
Canada etc etc. I think he and other NARALO members ie.
Alan Greenberg, John Laprise, Jon Zuck, Eduardo, Judith and
humbly myself have a contribution, each in their own way and
strengths. Evan has been a major contributor to ATLARGE and
policy statements and he will be a key speaker at NASIG on the
stimulating discussion on " Is ICANN Relevant" </div>
<div>Perhaps Evan didn't do the required courses but his
experience should give him give him a 'pass' </div>

recalling some early At-Large memories. </div>

<div dir="auto">The first efforts to hold a Summit started
in two places... Sébastien had proposed it early on, and
NARALO wanted one from its inception. </div>

<div dir="auto">I was the first Chair of NARALO and
Darlene Thompson was its first Secretariat. I can still
vividly recall the 4-way phone call during which Nick
Ashton-Hart (Heidi's predecessor) and his boss, Denise
Michel, laid down the law and instructed Darlene and me
to stop pushing for this summit thing. Absolutely no way
in hell it was going to happen, they told us, so we
should stop wasting their time.</div>
