My decision to stand for the  NARALO chair position comes from careful and thoughtful  analysis of the current  NARALO political landscape  and  I believe that  NARALO  needs  solid leadership especially with the departure of seasoned leaders leaving a substantial hole in the leadership.   NARALO  has  it's  challenges  and we  need a clear vision and strategy to mobilize more our  membership to get involved with NARALO activities.  We need more  active volunteers and this will require effort and dedication. 

Over the  past five years I have made  substantial contributions to NARALO  in specific and  ALAC in general  from NOMCOM, Secretariat and ALAC positions, providing me a great overall perspective to the value and contributions ALAC  provides to the ICANN ecosystem.   In addition. my senior  position with  ISOC  Canada  IEEE Canada  provides invaluable insights. 

In closing,  I believe I provide  leadership. organizational skills and experience that is an essential combination for the Chair position.
