Dear James, I'd like to announce my resignation from the GNSO council with the end of the ICANN AGM 2017 in Abu Dhabi. In accordance with the ICANN bylaws and our procedures the ISPCP constituency held elections to fill the seat for the remaining term. I'm happy to announce that Philippe Fouquart from France shall take this role. In addition, Tony Harris has been confirmed to continue as GNSO council member for another two years term. Best regards Wolf-Ulrich Knoben /ISPCP Constituency Chair/
