Dear Erick, Mate, I read the LACTLD press release announcing your departure. While I was excited to learn you're running for the Peruvian Congress, I was a bit disturbed by the reality that you're exiting this ICANN community you helped create. I understand & accept fully well that your choice & direction is for a greater good of the Peruvian people. On behalf of ZADNA, I wish you all the best. I will follow your campaign online. I believe you will make it to the congress. And please remember your LACTLD, RTLDO & ICANN friends once you reach the upper echelons of political power. And yes, bring an ICANN meeting to Lima as well because it would be an honour to meet you as a congressman! Regards, Vika Mpisane ZADNA +27 11 275 0082

Hi.
Some weeks ago the Aprista Party (http://www.apra.pe) invited me to be part of the list of candidates to the Peruvian Congress by Lima (my region). I accepted because my family are members of Aprista Party (i was not involved directly in politics in the past 12 years after the students movements against Fujimori). So i started a carrier to the Congress with one proposal: #internetparatodos (in english: internet for all).
I worked with my heart and put all my dreams in the past three years like first general manager of LACTLD, the results three years after the decision of the General Assembly of LACTLD to contracted me you can see. :) Now LACTLD is an active participant in the regional and global process about Domain Names and Internet Governance. All the advance of LACTLD was created by the community, i'm only help in the process, and was an honor that job.
But the campaign advance, and the far away probabilities are not so far away. This will be the first time that i will take some "months" out ot the ICANN world in 12 years. Thanks to everybody all, really thanks to all my colleagues and friends from CENTR (Specially Peter and Wim) , APTLD (specially Don Hollander y Jian), AfTLD (specially Eric), and LACTLD (all the members and my team), and from ICANN Staff in ccNSO (Gaby, Bart, Kristina), the ICANN Staff Liasons (specially Rodrigo y Shernon). And to everybody thanks for your frienship and for the messages, in someway my professional life in the past years, and my personal life, are connected to the ccTLDs (i started like legal advisor in .pe and now well now.. i going back to the politics).
If you want to be part of this digital campaign share this: (the peruvians around the world will vote for Lima, so :) each vote are useful because is obligatory voting)!!
