Great nomination, CAF! I would like to add my support to Carlos Afonso, our C.A., as the South America regional EC representative (if he accepts it)! He is also a founding member of ISOC Brazil Chapter and currently the interim President for our rejuvenated initiative. He is a great and motivating leader! Just in case: he is not my Dad either... I hope this contributes for the process, although I am not an active member at this list yet - I am among those trying to learn through the flow of messages after some ICANN Fellowship meetings...
