   HI Glenn and others,
   Thank you for the nomination. I accept your nomination for Secretariat.
   I have been acting secretariat since December when Garth took a leave
   of absence and also have been vice chair. With Evan’s resignation I
   will be Acting Secretariat until the elections where I hope to become
   Secretariat.  I have much experience in this area and would like to
   continue to serve NARALO.  As Secretariat, I have been advancing
   NARALO's positions and outreach both in the technology area and in the
   accessibility area where I have been championing the need for captions
   not only for those with hearing loss but also for those with limited
   bandwidth.  Because of my advocacy on this issue and through the work I
   and Glenn McKnight have done on the Technology Task Force we have made
   staff at ICANN aware of this need and they are working working hard to
   meet these goals, first with a new website and also hopefully with
   captioning.  ALAC approved my submission for a special budget request
   to run a pilot program for captioning and I am hoping that this is
   approved by the budget committee.  I hope to do more of this advocacy
   and outreach to different communities if you elect me as Secretariat.
   Best,
   Judith
