Resignation letter, from the 1st of February 2020 and forward, to GNSO Council and NCSG membership
Dear all, With great regret, hereby, from the 1st of February 2020 and forward, I resign my position as GNSO Councilor on behalf of the NCSG. I will also remove my individual NCSG membership after that date and become a passive reader in all ICANN list that I don’t explicitly unsubscribe, on the other hand, the NGO I represent, Datas (www.dat.as), will remain with other representatives. Until that date, I will continue as normal. This decision has no specific motive other than I cannot continue working at ICANN as a volunteer philanthropist, for free with no job behind it nor funds to justify it. Especially considering I been uninterruptedly working in that condition for over 6 years with ICANN. Starting as an NCSG-NCUC member back in 2013, later a Fellow, then an NCSG-NPOC member, NPOC Secretariat, NPOC Vice-Chair, Fellowship Mentor and GNSO Councilor. Always working with Intellectual Property, Data, and Human Rights issues. I would love to come back, but not anymore as a philanthropic for-free professional. Time will tell, I am always open for opportunities. I will continue to develop the Technology Governance and Tech Policy issues we have been dealing with over the years at Datas, like Internet Governance, Innovation, and Algorithm Governance. I will also continue my work as a business lawyer and business developer (www.silva.legal <http://www.silva.legal/>, www.metrospaces.com <http://www.metrospaces.com/>, www.casavisconti.mx <http://www.casavisconti.mx/>, www.ikal.wine <http://www.ikal.wine/>, and others). This year I will also be finishing the Executive MBA that I started last year at University Torcuato Di Tella (right now with an ongoing thesis in Blockchain DNS Governance thanks to my experience at Fuqua School of Business at Duke University). I am probably also going to cut in half my teaching at the University of Palermo, where this past semester I taught three Technology Law courses in Grade and Master at Computer Engineering to only a class at the Constitutional Law Master. I will continue doing the research and publishing papers. I thank you all for the hard work, the trust, the friendship. It was a pleasure sharing this space. I hope I find you all around the world, you are all welcome in Buenos Aires, let me know if you come this way.

Dear Martin, Let me first say that I am sorry to see you go, however I understand and share your sentiments. You have been a great representative and supportive colleague and I wish you all the best for your future endeavors. I know we will be dialoguing in the next few weeks, and your exit on February 1st, makes me reminisce about the birthday party in LA a few years ago. As a dedicated GNSO Councillor, your work and expertise have contributed to advance the stature on the noncommercial sector. I will leave my other comments for later.
