Hi Kurt,

Thanks for your email, and more importantly for your commitment, sacrifice and service over the last seven months. I will follow up with another email soon, but I wanted to acknowledge receipt of your message and express my gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the GNSO Council. I also appreciate and welcome your willingness to continue as Chair during the transition to Phase 2 and the next Chair.

Best regards,
Keith

Dear Keith:

For a set of personal and professional reasons, I am writing to resign my post as Chair of the EPDP for Registration Data. I was honored to be selected by the GNSO Council leadership for the post and attempted to live up to the position expectations and requirements at every moment since I began in July.

I will stay on for as long as it takes to find a replacement Chair and smoothly transition the responsibilities. I have several thoughts about the follow-on work that I can share for Council and EPDP Team consideration.

I wish to thank the Support Team for their incredibly hard, incredibly excellent work, and the EPDP Team members for their tireless, constructive participation and willingness to compromise.

I will remain available to you, the Council Leadership and the EPDP Team as necessary and at your convenience.

Thanks for your and the Council Leadership’s support.

Sincerely,

Kurt Pritz
