I strongly support the re-election of Rafik. He is one of our strongest representatives on Council, and has done a terrific job in Council leadership. I’ve had multiple discussions with Council leadership in the last few months, and Rafik has always been a strong voice leading us in the right direction. And he has been a very skilled negotiator and a strong voice for NCSG.

Over the past two years Rafik has represented us professionally and intelligently on the Council, taking principled and consistent stances in support of Internet freedoms and human rights that have allowed the NCSG to raise its profile and to successfully take a noncommercial outlook on important policy matters within the GNSO. He is currently the Vice-Chair of the Council; in serving in this leadership position he has been able to amplify our voice throughout the community, and should he serve a second term, it is my hope that he will be able to continue representing us in such a capacity.
