Thank you Rafik, I wish all the best for your work for Internet policies.  My apologies that I could not involve so much in NCSG during your leadership time, but I do like your presentation in fellowship meeting,  I got a glance of decreasing of negative views towards getting government/GAC from you, which was too much hate on GAC from NCSG before (which I could not agree,  if we do understand what government has to deal with). Once again,  thank you. Regards, DwiOn Oct 22, 2015 9:05 AM, "Rafik Dammak" <[log in to unmask]> wrote:

Hi everyone,I am sending this last email as NCSG chair , since my term ends with the last day of Dublin meeting. Tapani is officially the NCSG chair after the ICANN board session this afternoon, I wish him good luck and keen to offer him my support for the coming months. I wanted to thank all NCSG members who trusted me for  2 years, also the NCSG officers. I really enjoyed serving in such role and hoped to do more things. I could do some things, not succeeding on others and some that I couldn't do yet. 
I trust Tapani will do more and being successful to reach the goals he set, following his strategy and get inputs. He needs all our support and help for the challenges ahead.My focus was to improve the operational side of NCSG like membership management, being able to influence more policy by regular submitting public comment, and more important being able to engage our members and let them more involved in policy making process, to communicate and collaborate with other groups and communicate better about NCSG activities.  That was built in what my predecessors did and I am passing this now to the new chair. I will also make a self-evaluation and self-criticism in timely manner.  I did the hand-over with Taapni and everything should be ok. You will also receive details of recordings of NCSG sessions in Dublin meeting and there will be follow-up.of course, I will continue my involvement and will be happy to  support our members on my personal capacity and respond to your questions. Best Regards,Rafik Dammakformer NCSG chair
