Hello!

My first contact here and I feel really welcomed like walking in a red
carpet... Thank you Carlos for the kind nomination and all people who
sent their support, specially who I didn't get the chance to meet
before. I am honoured for that and gratefully accept the nomination to
run the GNSO Council elections as NCSG representative. Thank you
Milton too for helping with the messages today 8-)

My nomination is a directly result of my participation in the last
ICANN meeting, where I was encouraged to stand for the council. Over
the weeks after Prague I have thought a lot about to run or not the
GNSO Council elections, the talking to NCSG members was also very
helpful. I decided to go forward because I really feel ready to bring
my experience to this field. If elected I will enthusiastically serve
as a NCSG Representative.

Best regards,

Magaly
