Gabi, As I tried to say in Buenos Aires before emotions took over, you have been an integral, essential and important part of the ccNSO from its early years to now. Your flexibility, ingenuity and willingness to help have been one of the main ingredients for the smooth operation of a group of people who don’t naturally ‘do smooth’! Thank you. We could have got to here without you but it would have been less fun, taken more time and been more stressful. Good luck in your new role. Love and respect, Chris

Dear all,
As Bart wrote last week, today is my last day with the ccNSO. Many thanks for all kind words and wishes you've sent me – I’m really touched!
And now it’s time for me to thank you and say good bye. After more than 8 1/2 years with this community, I felt it is time to move on and I’m grateful to get the chance to take up a new exciting position within ICANN. However, whilst I am happy about my new job opportunity, I am also very sad to leave a community that I have really loved working with. I would like to thank all of you for all these years we spent together and for everything you taught me. Without the experience I gained thanks to you, I wouldn’t be able to move on.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful working colleagues Bart and Kristina for the past years – you have been the best colleagues one could imagine!
As Bart mentioned, I will still stay on to run the ccNSO Council nominations/elections (throughout September/October/November), so you will see my name pop up on the members email list now and then - but my other tasks will be shared by Bart, Kristina and Kim until a replacement has been found.
As I am staying with ICANN, I will still be “around", so I am sure we will meet again sooner or later and you all know where to find me!
Thank you all, once again and
Kind regards,
Gabi
