Dear colleagues
I write to advise that I will not be standing for the GNSO in the
upcoming NCSG elections. It has been a privilege to serve the
constituencies and I am very grateful to my fellow Councillors and to
Robin Gross (among others) for their support, wisdom and good guidance
during my term. However, I am finding it increasingly difficult to give
Councillor duties the attention they require and will not put myself
forward for another term.
Thank you all for your support and the opportunity to represent your
interests.
Kind regards

Joy Liddicoat.
