Retirement from the CSC
Dear CSC Colleagues, This note is to inform you that I will not be standing for re-appointment to the CSC. I have decided to step down at the end of my term. It has been an honour to participate in the work of the CSC over the past 3 years. As we know, the CSC was born out of the uncertain times of the IANA transition and we had not just an important role, but also much work to do in bootstrapping our committee's culture, norms, and behaviours as well as our processes and procedures. It was a real working committee and we did the heavy lifting with without drama - we just got the work done! Over the past three years we have built a strong and positive relationship with the IANA team; we have built out enduring processes that the community can rely on, and, I believe, have served our communities well. It took many hands to get this all done, starting from an effective Charter Drafting team and the commitment of the GNSO and the ccNSO to make this committee work. There are many people to thank, but I would certainly like to call out Naela and the IANA team who approached this dramatic change 3 years ago with an open mind and who have worked continuously to live up to the community's needs as well as continued to improve their services and reporting. Well done! To Bart and Ria, who kept the process moving and provided wise counsel on many occasions. Also, I would like to thank my colleague Allan, who did much heavy lifting and wrote many drafts for the benefit of us all. Mostly, of course, I would like to thank my colleagues on the CSC, both the Members and the Liaisons, current and former, for their collective commitment to volunteering for this important function, and for doing all the work required to get the Committee and its processes up and running for the benefit of the entire community. It has been a pleasure and an honour to work with this team and I am entirely confident the CSC will be in very good hands going forward.

Hi Byron, You have been a great leader and inspiration to us and I really enjoyed working with you !!! Regards Gaurav Sent from my iPhone

Dear Byron, Thank you for your note and if I may echo what Gaurav said, you have been an excellent leader for this group. You helped us all successfully navigate a new territory post the IANA Transition. You fostered a truly collaborative and collegial environment for all of us to work together and feel safe to express our ideas and thoughts on whatever we were trying to figure out. I have personally learned a lot from you and will truly miss your leadership on the CSC after your term ends. Thank you again for all your work to make the CSC a success. We will miss you.

Dear Byron, In my exposure to the CSC over the past year, I have always had the impression of the CSC as being a productive high-functioning team effectively controlling its outputs and processes. This reflects positively on your leadership and stewardship during your years of service. Thanks for your dedicated contribution and Godspeed for your future endeavours.

Byron, I will be sorry to see you leave. I've seen and worked in quite a few corners of the ICANN system over many (20+!) years, but I don't think I've ever seen a comittee so productive and well managed. A committee is an ecosystem of individuals and processes, and it's difficult to make one work well. Your leadership is far from the only contributing factor to the success of the CSC, but it is an important one. Thank you very much for excellent chairmanship! Best regards, /Liman byron.holland@cira.ca:
