I've said my personal goodbyes to Matt privately, but I also want to publicly thank him for being an absolutely invaluable "go-to" person. "Above and beyond the call" does not begin to do justice to Matt's contribution to what we do here, both on a personal and professional level. I can think of specific times when he has helped me perform better, bailed me out, and cheered me up. Simply, he has contributed immensely at making At-Large a Better Place to Be. Matt, I certainly hope the Strategic Initiatives people deserve you. Stay in touch. And Xinyue, welcome to ICANN and this diverse group of people in At-Large. It's a demanding bunch but also a generally friendly group of people with good hearts and strong wills. I look forward to getting to know you better, and to seeing the combination of skills and interests you bring to our community. - Evan
