Dear Board: I would like to express my support for Ala'a Al-Din J. Kadhem Al-Radhi for your upcoming board seat with ICANN. I have had the immense pleasure of being a colleague and later becoming a good friend of Mr. Al-Radhi. We have worked together through the Center for International Private Enterprise where I first witnessed his dedication to humankind, his sharp intellect and his driven work ethic. Together we worked to assist business development opportunities within Iraqi society. He always displayed a dedication to any effort we undertook. His ability to communicate was always excellent, as is his English. His ability to develop teams to implement project work was always handled with compassion, attention to detail and with project goals in mind. My only regret regarding Mr. Al-Radhi is that I could not hire him myself. He will be a great asset regardless where he finds himself!

Dear ICANN committee Re: Mr. Ala'a Al-Din Al-Radhi I began to know, Mr. Aladin Alradhi, better over 20 years ago. Firstly was through our meetings in France when he was receiving his training in new telecommunication topics with Thomson-CSF. Secondly was through my associations with Capri Wood company and Alkindi Society for Engineers. In France I became to appreciate his professionalism, dedication to his work and initiative. My contacts with Capri Wood as well as my Alkindi Society activities enabled me to realize his expertise (in Computing and Telecomm.), creativity and high degree of organization. He was our representative of Alkindi Society in Baghdad for two years and supported solidly our engineering work over there. He has very good skills in IT infrastructure / telecommunications engineering He participated in many international related conferences and events to enhance his skills and expertise. His work with international bodies, and the UN gave him the diverse working skills in business, NGO's, capacity buildings and funding issues. His solid believe in the work of the NGOs and in particular Civic issues for the Middle East enabled him to contribute a lot to our non-profit IFID (International Forum for Dialogue) organization. He is currently the IFID representative in Jordan. He has a very good command in Arabic and English and a working knowledge of French. Further is helpful, pleasant and friendly. I am happy to very much recommend him to you and support his election to your committee. He has the relevant working standards and expertise to match your esteemed objectives. Yours Faithfully

Later and through my work with an International organization, I was in direct contact with Mr. Al-Radhi through his active work in ITU in UN, Baghdad. Moreover, after the war in 2003, I was surprised to know another great abilities in Mr. Al-Radhi through his generous activities with national and international NGOs to take part in reconstruction of his homeland, Iraq. I know Mr. Al-Radhi as a generous man with great passion of IT systems.

I began to Know Ala since many years when we started to work in close and share ideas and knowledge in civic issues, think tanks and trainings, with concentrations on new international and national policies and reforms ideas. Mr. Ala was always a great helper to me and all his colleagues and friends. During his formal work with CIPE, he was always the excellent staff to look for intellectuals and think tankers to promote CIPE mission in Iraq. Despite of very bad security situation, he did so hard to establish a nation wide advisory council of top leaders (government, think tank, private sector and business people) that promote CIPE media and policy works. His work with me and this advisory council is never forgotten. His pioneer volunteer work with an IT-based project: SENSE (Strategic Economic Needs and Security Enhancement) was so great to gather and invite decision makers. He believes in IT trainings and know-how for all people. His multi works with the UN and international organizations is always a source of happiness to him because of the willing to serve internationally. Despite of leaving CIPE recently, but he always kept his excellent spirit and motives to help his colleagues and search for new effective ideas and programs. His morals, kindness and beliefs are so highly demanded in the development environments. I am absolutely sure that Mr. Ala will be an excellent candidate for your position.

Dear board of ICANN 2007 nominations Regards It is my deep pleasure and confidence to support the nominations of Mr. Ala Al-Radhi . I started to know Mr. Ala during the late years of the 70’s when we were together students in the college of engineering. I used to see him very active at that time in the main-frame computer center of the college. He was always that kind of intelligent student. In late 80’s we used to be together again as civil servants engineers employees in the ministry of industry in Baghdad . Our state company at that time was called the: State company for industrial and consultation services. Our company was a joint venture with Bechtel. Inc. of USA / San Francisco and Bechtel Inc. Overseas division in UK . As a senior civil engineer, I was in charge of the PC-2 (Petro-Chemical Project) site constructions. Mr. Ala was in charge of all computer activities in our site and the main company HQ. His duties as a computer engineer included all computer concerns, which were new to all staff at that time. Mr. Ala dealt with all these new computer jobs very efficiently. His duties were installing, maintaining and networking these computers under DOS and Novel Netware operating systems. He used to design and teach all the necessary software package training courses such as WordPerfect, Lotus 123 and other engineering software. He used to make frequent site visits to check if everything is in good condition. He did so through very good inventory and follow-up schedule. The company staff included Bechtel people form USA and UK , where Mr. Ala was teaching them by himself also. So his duties were teaching the foreign staff also in addition to Iraqi staff, because of his excellent English skills and high social and morals values. He is so internationally and friendly. He used to make overtime visits to our site to manage our computer needs. He was staying late night to make the job done. His commitment and love to computer works and duties was so great and praised even by the international Bechtel staff. He has excellent technical and management background. Post 1991, we resigned from the government work, where Mr. Ala opened his own private computer business in that hard time when you can hardly see people knows about this new business as a private sector. I used to be one of his computer business customers on my private and company business. His IT business (called Uranus Computing) is known in Baghdad because he was one of the startup people in this field. He has gained this reputation because of his morals and technical skills to serve this new business. He progressed further to gain excellent jobs in Dubai – UAE and United Nations. Although the hard times that we faced in Iraq during the sanctions time, but he always that excellent engineer who improves his skills on the technical and business levels. Post 2003, he started to be engaged in the new field of civil society that serves the needs of people IT and Internet advances. Whenever I see him frequently, I know that he have participated in many regional and international new wings of IT. He is so ambitious engineer that learns to know what is new. His work history, connections and culture side makes him an excellent nominee to any job.. I can assure you that he is an excellent person to your nomination. I am very sure that you will gain his skills and expertise.. Thanks

As a colleague I found Ala’a a very competent engineer due to his ethical approach, problem solving skills and his high level of commitment. As a friend I always admired Ala’a morale values, his sense of humor, patience and courtesy. His passion for knowledge was great to; this can be seen in the wide collection of books that he acquires in his library at home. Beside that Ala’a is a great family man who relate well to people at all levels. The progress Ala’a achieves along his career, has paved the way for his work involvement with well respected international organisations in recent years.

Dear ICANN Board of Directors Committee My best regards I would like to give my full support statement to the nomination of Mr. Ala Al-Radhi. I know him since many years but our relations came stronger and closer after 2003 when I first met him in one of the international UK business conferences held in Amman / Jordan in 2003 when both of us were invited. I was highly touched with his morals, skills and wide range of relations that he have. He does the best, including all his contacts, in networking and IT relations. It is really a very nice feeling to know a person like him with wide skills, relations and morals. He always gathers good related people in a way or another to help promote the business concerned. I am proud of his technical knowledge and his technical and management capabilities of being an international person in IT. I know how much he is involved in advancing his IT security and Internet infrastructure knowledge and connections.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN With pleasure I support the nomination of Mr. Al-Radhi. Mr. Al-Radhi collaborates by engaging in activities related to IJMAA (now known as the Iraq Business Council). He actively shares his knowledge and research as well as assists with finding the best local association partners. From IZDIHAR’s side, we also appreciate Mr. Al-Radhi’s willingness to promote the Iraq ICT Alliance. All of these efforts are critical for working towards a strong private sector whereby collectively we improve Iraqi reform and policies. Mr. Al-Rahdi is particularly committed to economic development and business association strengthening. He is highly enthusiastic and steadfast in his work. I have been impressed with his commitment to usher in change within the environment that he works. I hereby recommend Mr. Al-Radhi and vote for his election.

Dear Sir/Madam, This E-mail is in support of the nomination of Alaa Al-Din Al-Radhi for a board seat with ICANN. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Al-Radhi in 2004 when he joined The Shaw Group working for me as an IT specialist. During his time with The Shaw Group, working in Baghdad Iraq, Mr. Al-Radhi exhibited exemplary skill in his duties and extraordinary devotion to his duties. He is a quick learner, who kept himself abreast of new technologies such as IT security, Telecommunications, IT infrastructure, ICT applications, E-learning and E-government. While, his stay with Shaw was not as long as I would have liked, I was very impressed with his reliability and skills. He kept himself up to date with the latest events and developments in the IT field, despite many difficult challenges given the current situation in Iraq. Not only is he a team player, very organized and an extremely quick study, he is highly motivated within the IT security and infrastructure arena. I regretted losing Ala as both a counterpart and an employee and fully believe that any organization would greatly benefit from his knowledge and experience. Should you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Title: Support for Mr. Ala Al-Radhi nomination Dear ICANN board committee Subject: Support for Mr. Ala Al-Radhi nomination I have known Mr. Ala Al-Radhi for long time, over 25 years. He struck me as a person of high integrity, trustworthy, very hard working, self made, actively involved in the technical & social life and have the passion and driving force to be achieve the high objectives and goals set by his employers and himself. Ala is a person that I can trust to do his utmost abilities to find a solution to any issue whether it is on personal, social or professional & technical levels. He is an able person with lots of brain-power, IT knowledge, years of IT experience and intelligence. Throughout my 27 years as a professional scientist/software developer/senior IT manager/IT executive, meeting hundreds of professional IT people and working for International companies such as GE Capital, Infolink, Equifax & TransUnion, and working with so many clients as a senior consultant, I came across only few that they will walk the extra mile and have the ability to achieve high goals. Ala Al-Radhi is one of those very few individuals. I highly recommend Ala as he is an able professional person with integrity and highly motivated and will serve ICANN objectives. Yours truly,

Dear Sir or Madam, I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Ala Al-radhi for 15 years. I met Mr. Ala Al-Radhi, when I needed some IT help with our family business and were recommended to Uranus Computing, Mr. Al-Radhi's IT firm. I got to know Mr. Al-Radhi quite well; he who is extremely diligent, competent and professional. He helped us fulfill our needs quite quickly. After immigrating to the United states in 1993, my relationship with Mr. Al-Radhi has continued and through e-mail exchanges through the 90s. Mr. Al-Radhi has helped me resolve many needs and answered my countless questions. In 2005, I met Mr. Ala Al-radhi in the united Arab Emirates while I was on business in Dubai, and where Mr. Al-Radhi was attending Oracle University. It became clear during our meetings that Mr. Al-Radhi has transformed his skills toward IT of the new millennium. He exceeded my expectations in his IT knowledge , and his approach towards solving problems rivaled those of IT managers in renowned institutions such as Harvard University where I am currently employed. This is despite the difficulties that he and his family has faced living in Iraq through the war since 2003. Mr. Ala Al-Radhi is a wonderful choice for ICANN board of directors because of his vast knowledge, professionalism, and business-like manner. He is also is fluent in three languages: Arabic, English and French, an asset that will be very useful for an international organization such as ICANN.

To ICANN committee, I have known Mr. Ala Al-Din Al-Radhi for quite along time when he came to France at the beginning of the 1980s as a trainee in telecommunications engineering in French company Thomson-Csf (Thales today). I remember that he and his wife have been all the time we cooperated together a great help. I found him competent, clever, resourceful, trustworthy and reliable in his commitments as well as respectful of the cultural diversity. They had obviously a sense of international cultures, in addition to a good practice of English, a rare quality for Iraqis at the time. I testify here that he has the necessary skills to work for international organizations such as ICANN. Regards. Pierre-Jean Luizard Name: Luizard Pierre-Jean
