Dear colleagues,
there is one remark, I would like to make.

I fully agree that we should go for diversity - more, I'd like to
stress it. In my opinion, the candidature of Veronica Cretu does not
contradict diversity, but enhances it, as she represents groups not
represented by the other candidate for ALAC. The more formal aspect
of ALS-membership seems a less important point to me in this case.
I appreciate that the open questions to the candidature are clarified
now.
Best
Stefan
