Applicants Sought from Internet User Community for Seat on Board of Directors

[Alex Gakuru]

Dear Andrés,

I am well - and thanks for asking.

Certainly, but I did some thorough checking out to assess my chances
before arriving at the conclusion - partly because I am not too
familiar with ALAC 'internals'? All is not lost,  for since or should
one of our own is/gets nominated, then I'd be glad to take a back seat
on this one.

Many thanks,
