Thanks, Robtert. You mentioned ALAC appointing 5 members to the
committee, one per region. Is it possible to provide us with an
insight about what's happeneing with the other regions? (I went
to the page linked and didn't more information.) Or only the
North American elections are held this time, and each region has
a different timing?
Thanks,

Mawaki
