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 I¹m really touched! And now it¹s 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 I¹m 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 wouldn¹t 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 ³around", 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
