James, Sorry for slow email response. I've been bedridden with illness, and I'm trying to catch up. My congratulations to you and the PTI. I'm quite sure you will continue to make good contributions to the system, I'm just sorry it's not with the CSC any more. Thank you for all your valuable input over the years! Best regards, /Liman james@cyberinvasion.net 2020-10-03 09:11 [+0000]:
Dear Keith and Lars-Johan,
As you both may be aware I have been appointed by the 2020 NomCom to serve a 3 year term on the Board of PTI (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-10-02-en), in line with the bylaws requirements of accepting this appointment I am required to resign my current community leadership positions including serving as the GNSO non-Registry Liaison to the CSC and as the CSC liaison to the IANA Functions Review Team. I will continue to serve out the remainder of my term on the GNSO Council.
In line with that requirement I hereby resign from both positions (CSC liason and IFRT liaison) effective Friday October 9th at 12:00 UTC.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a replacement, in particular it has been my pleasure to serve the ICANN community since the CSCs foundation in 2016 and I hope that the good work of the CSC may continue in the future. I look forward to working with the CSC in my new role going forward and hope that I can continue to attend the CSC calls as an observer in the future.
Regards, James Gannon
