Dear All,

I'm pleased to announce that the IAB has selected Harald Alvestrand to succeed Jonne Soininen as the IETF Liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors. Harald’s term will begin with the ICANN Annual General Meeting in October.   The IAB would like to thank Harald and all of the candidates for their willingness to serve the community in this role.  

The IAB also extends special thanks to Jonne for his 6 years of service.  

Suzanne Woolf
For the IAB

Note:  The selection committee did not include Ted Hardie, who was recused from the discussion because of a potential conflict of interest.  The selection committee otherwise comprised the full IAB.
