[At-Large] [ALAC-Internal] Call for nominations to ALAC Liaison and Appointment Positions for 2008 - 2009

[Fatimata Seye Sylla]

Hi All,

I thought we had reached a consensus yesterday as Jacqueline's statement is
the current situation.  I suggested to talk with Pierre and ask him, as a
former ALAC member to provide the information we need via someone we would
designate among us.  I thought Evan supported that idea or may be I got it
wrong and sorry about that.
