Hi Alan,

<div class="">
this is not 100 percent correct. The first official ALAC Liaison was Vittorio Bertola (until 2007), followed by Wendy Selzer (2007 - 2009) amd Vanda (2009 - 2010) before Sebastian became the first voting ALAC Board member (2010 - 2014). Roberto was selectd by the NomCom (I was a member of NomCom it this time). There had been some other individuals close to At Large who made their way into the board vie tha NomCom as Susan Crawford and Bertrand de la Chapelle, but - as said in a previous mail - the NomCom did partly forget that the orginal plan for the establishment of the NomCom was to open a venue for individuals, close to the At Large philosophy.

With all the talk recently about our Board member Leon Sanchez, being
</div>
<div class="">
selected as Vice-Chair, I wanted to remind everyone that this is not
</div>
<div class="">
the first time that an ex-ALAC member has been so honoured.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
It is worth remembering that Roberto Gaetano was an ALAC Member for 4
</div>
<div class="">
years, from 2003-2006, and was our first Liaison to the ICANN Board
</div>
<div class="">
for the entire period. In December, 2006 Roberto was appointed as a
</div>
<div class="">
full voting Board member by the NomCom, and was immediately elected
</div>
<div class="">
Vice-Chair, a position that he held for the duration of his term.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
There are times when people leave the Board and sort of disappear.
</div>
<div class="">
That was not the case with Roberto, who is still one of At-Large's
</div>
<div class="">
most active members.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
And as many of you know, he plays a pretty mean saxophone with the GEMS Band.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Here's to Roberto!
