Thank you Bruce and Bob for your kind words! While I am moving on to something near and dear to my heart, a philanthropic institution, I am sincerely saddened to be leaving all the work and personal relationships I've developed in our constituency. It has been a very rich experience for me, and I wish you all the best in continuing ICANN developments. Many of you know my colleague - Jordyn Buchanan. He has been around ICANN issues for longer than I have. Plus, he brings with him a measure of technical knowledge that I certainly don't have. I'm sure you will find him a great contribution to the constituency, and he can always reach me if I can be of any help. I will just be in NYC, so continuing to be interested and supportive. All the best, Elana -----Original Message----- From: owner-registrars@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-registrars@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Tonkin Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 9:00 PM To: Registrars Constituency Cc: Jordyn Buchanan Subject: RE: [registrars] Nominations for Chair. Hello Bob, I would like to start with thanking Elana for her hard work and valued contribution in her role as chair. I also wish her well in her new job. I believe that Jordyn Buchanan from Register.com will take over as Register.com's representative in the registrars constituency. Jordyn has served on the GNSO Council, and is currently co-chair of the combined WHOIS task force 1 and 2. He is well regarded within the GNSO. If Jordyn is willing and has the time available, I am happy to nominate Jordyn Buchanan for chair. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Dear Registrars:
I bring sad news, Elana has accepted a position which will take her away from us.
I can only describe her tenure as Stupendous. I have enjoyed working for her. She has been objective and fair, has run well organized meetings.
Sadly, I am calling for nominations for Chair of the RC.
Regards, BobC, Secretary.
