[lac-discuss-en] LACNIC honours 10 Latin American and Caribbean Internet Leaders

[Carlton Samuels]

Congratulations to all.  Having experienced LACNIC's operational
competence, I know these recipients are well deserving of this honour.

A special mention to our dear friend and compatriot, Bernadette Lewis of
the CTU. Great to see you on this list, Bernie.

Warm regards,
- Carlton
