Dear James,<br>
<br>
in my capacity as ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council, I would like to
extend the ALAC's congratulations on your appointment as GNSO
Council Chair. Having worked in various capacities with your
predecessors, I am well aware of the size of responsibility and
workload in such a position, and wish you and your Vice Chairs
Heather Forrest and Donna Austin the best for a successful year. <br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
