 Bret,

This is good news indeed. Vittorio has worked hard in the ICANN fields for
many years so it will be a pleasure to welcome him to the Board tomorrow.

Subject: ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board

Dear Vint and John,

It is my pleasure to announce that the At Large Advisory Committee today
elected Vittorio Bertola as its liaison to the ICANN Board. Mr. Bertola was
the first Chair of the ALAC and was instrumental in both the creation and
growth of ICANN's At Large. Having worked with Mr. Bertola over a number of
years, I know you will find him a hard-working and energenic contributor to
ICANN's ongoing work. 

A copy of our ALAC election announcement follows below. 

Kind regards,

      Bret Fausett

--
As the non-voting Chair for today's election, I would like to provide the
following report to the ALAC members and other interested members of the
larger RALO, ALS, and At Large communities. 

Fifteen ALAC members were eligible to vote for ALAC officers. Fourteen
expressed an intention to vote, with one member unavailable. I enlisted
George Sadowsky to assist me, and together we counted and verified fourteen
written ballots for three contested positions. Other officers for
uncontested positions were elected by acclamation. 

I am pleased to announce the ALAC Officers for the coming year. Each officer
will serve until the close of ICANN's annual meeting in 2007. 

* Chair: Annette Muehlberg
* ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board: Vittorio Bertola
* ALAC Liaison to the ccNSO Council: Siavash Shahshahani
* ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council: Alan Greenberg
* ALAC Representative to Whois Task Force: Wendy Seltzer
* ALAC Representative to the GNSO's Working Group on IDNs: Hong Xue

We have two Vice-Chair positions, currently unfilled, which will be
appointed or elected in the coming weeks. 

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the election. 

Bret Fausett
