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
