[alac] NomCom delegates statements of interest

[ICANN At-Large - Denise Michel <michel@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the past, the ALAC has asked individuals interested in serving (or 
nominated to serve) as At-Large delegates to the NomCom to provide the 
following information.  Unless I hear otherwise, I will assume we will 
continue to use the same approach and will begin sending this request to 
interested individuals on 17 December.

Thanks.
Denise

and what skills, knowledge or attitude would you contribute to the 
Committee in making its choice of members for the ICANN Board and other 
key positions?

community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN;

commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial 
objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee responsibilities;

-- Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential 
impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who are 
willing to serve as volunteers, without compensation other than the 
reimbursement of certain expenses; and

English.
