Dear Vika,

 

Sorry to hear that but I understand your decision. Let me thank you for your years long contribution to the work of the ccNSO. I will always remember the excellent 10 years anniversary of the ccNSO we celebrated in Durban – as the chair of the organising committee you took care of everything, warmly welcomed us and ensured great atmosphere at the event J Thank you very much for everything, Vika!

 

I hope we will keep seeing you at our meetings despite the heavy workload. Definitely hope to see you in India!

 

As for the extraordinary election, I suggest that we align it with the general Council election we will launch this autumn. Are there any objections from the Councillors?

 

Kindest regards,

Subject: [ccnso-council] Resignation from ccNSO council

 

Dear Katrina & Councillors,

 

As you are well aware, my contribution to the Council & its structures has been quite below par for at least the last year due to unabating work commitments on my part. As much as I was hoping something will give & I can return to more active participation in the Council, things continue to look difficult for me. Accordingly, after 2.5 terms as a ccNSO Councillor for Africa, I would like to resign from the Council so that another candidate from Africa can make a contribution to the well-being of the ccTLD community through the Council.

 

I am not sure how you want us to handle this leading to the next elections, but if it’s not causing any problems to the Council, I would like my resignation to be immediate.

 

Having said that, I wish the Council all the best. In you we have a bunch of hard-working & knowledgeable councillors who are making sure the interests of the ccTLD community are well advocated and respected. Barring any Divine Intervention to the contrary, you will still be seeing me in ICANN meetings.

 

Regards,
