[APAC-Discuss] FW: Announcement: At-Large Board Director Slate of Candidates Selected by the BCEC and Next Steps

Fri Feb 7 03:14:28 UTC 2014

I fully support Rinalia as a candidate from our region.

I believe that she has a combination of excellent skills that would be 
an asset in order to represent At-Large on ICANN's Board Seat #15.
