Dear colleagues, before I get removed from this list I’d like to express my sincere thanks for the time I could spend with all of you during my term on council. It was just great to meet with folks of such a variety in background and history coming together and trying hard to find common grounds in policy development. Not to forget the fun in all these barrooms... A great thank to the policy staff in particular to its outstanding ladies and more specifically to Glen. As a vice chair I felt everytime supported very well. I wish you best success in your future council work. Since there is just a pre-ICANN as well as an ICANN life – but no post-ICANN life – I’ll be around in future through my constituency and in working groups and look forward to meet you again.
