Thanks, Tapani!

I really appreciate you nominating me, and  the expressions of support
from Arsène, Stephanie and Robin. I had mentally adjusted to winding
down my ICANN activities after 5 years (at this round of my ICANN
engagement, my first round back in the Esther Dyson days doesn't count),
but the expressions of support has made me spend some time thinking
about whether I can still help furthering the causes NCSG is defending.
As I think there is still some things I can do, I hereby gratefully
accept the nomination.

I will post a candidate statement tomorrow (Thursday). Unfortunately I
won't be able to attend the meet the candidates call due to prior
engagements - please accept my apologies.
