Dear Colleagues,

I want to thank ccTLD managers from the European region for their support and trust, as well as for taking the time to vote. This is a privilege and a great responsibility to work on the Council and I look forward to getting started - well, in fact, I have started already :-)

I also want to thank Andrei for his readyness to serve the community on the ccNSO Council. He is hard working, highly knowledgeable and a great friend - competing against such a strong candidate and being elected makes responsibility even greater.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
