Dear All,
I fully support the nomination of Ed Morris as NCSG representative for
the NCSG on the GNSO Council. Ed uniquely combines impeccable personal
ethics with knowledge and smarts. I can not think of a better candidate
that represents the whole spectrum of the NCSG with his heart and soul
without ever selling out. Not to re-elect him would be a real shame to
the detriment of the whole GNSO.
I urge you to support Ed in the upcoming election
