All,

I’m writing to advise that I must resign my GNSO Council position effective immediately.  I’ve taken on a new role with my company that does not allow me the time necessary to devote to Council work at this time.  The RrSG leadership will begin the election process to select a replacement and will identify the necessary proxy to serve in my absence until that selection is complete.

It has been such a pleasure working with all of you!  I’ve enjoyed my time so much, built valuable relationships, and learned a great deal from all of you.  You are doing valuable work and I look forward to watching (albeit a little bit from afar) all that you accomplish.

Best,

Darcy Southwell
