Yes, a pity that Nicole didnt apply in the end as she wouldve been the logical choice.
Its been a problematic position to hold (Bowrey, Alexander and the combination of Goolagong/Woodforde.. can attest) so hopefully Alicia has got the mettle to deal with what comes her way. So yes, the influence from Nicole will hopefully assist. Admittedly in the history of Fed Cup, Taylor's tenure was probably the least uneventful
