Dear Councillors, I was really very much keen to participate to my last council meeting. Unfortunatley, for the last month I have faced health problems, that stopped me of many of the daily regular activities. I'm so sorry to miss meeting with you for the last time. It was really a good chance for me to join the ccnso wonderful group for the last 3 years. It was also a great pleasure sharing the discussions, debates and decisions. I'm glad that I have shared the launcing of the IDNs even as a fast track. Three years ago when I first joined the icann world, many were wondering whether this fast track can come true, but it is now! I do wish to have the chance to work with you again in the future. Wish all of you all the best of luck and success, With my kind regards, Nashwa -- *Nashwa Abdelbaki, PhD* Director, Information Security Program School of Communication & Information Technology Center for Informatics Sciences Nile University Smart Village K28, Cairo-Alex-Desert Road Giza/Cairo, 12677 Egypt www.nileuniversity.edu.eg
