NEW: David Olive Thanks You and Farewell

 

Dear ICANN Members of the Supporting Organization, Advisory Committees, Stakeholder Groups, and Constituencies:

 

Today after 14 years, I retire as the leader of the policy and advice development team at ICANN. I want to express my deepest appreciation to this globally diverse group of individuals who make up the heart of ICANN. Your dedication and voluntary contributions of time and effort to policy and advice development activities have been instrumental in advancing ICANN's mission to ensure a safe, secure, and reliable Internet for all.

 

The richness of perspectives, expertise, and passion that each of you brings to the table has created a vibrant and dynamic environment within ICANN. Together, we have achieved much, and I am proud of the collective impact we have made on the global Internet landscape.

 

As I transition into retirement, I carry with me profound gratitude for the privilege of working alongside such a remarkable community. Your commitment to ICANN's mission is truly commendable, and I have no doubt that your ongoing efforts will continue to shape the future of the Internet and its governance.

 

Thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and the positive impact you have had on ICANN and the broader Internet community. I am confident that, under your continued leadership and commitment, ICANN will thrive in its mission for years to come.

 

Best regards,

 

David
