Stephanie has been an incredibly valuable colleague both on the council (where she is a very active contributor to debates and discussion) and within working groups such as PPSAI and the current Next-gen RDS, and a pleasure to work with. 

Its not my place to talk about her qualificationsl (apart from EFF Pioneer award, wow),  but her knowledge and dedication makes her one of the most valuable advocates we have. 

I have no hesitation at all in recommending her nomination for a second term.
