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

[Carlton Samuels]

Dear Hong:
While the IDN issue does not have too much traction in the LACRALO region, I
admire your work and the dedication you show in going at it.  I also delight
in listening to your submissions when you do speak in the meetings.

Best,
Carlton
