Hi everyone

I would like to be candidate for secretariat.

I already updated my SOI and would like to add the following short 
comment to explain my interest for serving as secretary.

I have the pleasure to be part of the NARALO since its inception. I 
participated in ICANN meetings remotely at the beginning, but when I've 
been elected chair of ISOC Quebec in 2007, I started to participate in 
person as my interest for ICANN kept growing. I appreciated my 
involvement in the NARALO Capacity Building meetings and received a 
certificate during the 45th ICANN meeting in Toronto in 2012. Since 
2009, I focussed on the DotQuebec application that is now in service 
among many other new TLDs and, as you know, I'm a member fo the NomCom 
team since 2014 and I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. 
The NomCom 2015 is now in the evaluation process of the 81 applications 
received for leadership positions and we now meet remotely on a weekly 
basis.

I think that my background as a journalist, a communication expert and  
a manager for the Quebec Governement could be useful to keep improving 
the NARALO communications and outreach within the ICANN community and 
among the ALs.

Thanks for your time

Louis Houle
President
ISOC Quebec
