Dear colleagues, I have informed ICANN's secretary that I'm resigning from the role of ALAC's GNSO council liaison effective immediately. The main reson for this step is that I believe an effective GNSO liaison ought to be able to participate in the Council's physical meetings, in private meetings, in hallway conversations. An effective GNSO liaison ought to be ALAC's face, as far as the GNSO is concerned. This is impossible without attending physical ICANN meetings. I wasn't in Kuala Lumpur due to a conflict with other travel, and I'll again be in the US when ICANN is meeting in Cape Town. This means that I can't, at this point, do the liaison's job properly. I wish the GNSO in general, and Council in particular, luck and success in devising policies that truly take into account the interests of all parties affected -- including those of individual Internet users. Speaking personally, the time on Council -- first in an observer role as co-chair of the GA, then as ALAC's liaison --, was interesting and instructive. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with you. Thanks, and kind regards, -- Thomas Roessler ยท Personal soap box at <http://log.does-not-exist.org/>.
