This was a very pleasant surprise to see in my "inbox" this morning.

I have yet to meet Amr - in person, that is. I know Amr, though, from the
quality of his written work on committees, and from his cool, calm verbal
interactions on WG's, standing committees  and on groups within his
Constituency. Most recently he has served us on the SCI - the most abstract
of groups in ICANN. He's greatly impressed me with the quality of his
input, his ability to quickly grasp rather complex subjects and his ability
to advocate our positions in an effective agreeable manner.

Along with Avri and Wolfgang, whom I also obviously endorse and support,
and our returning Counselors ( David, Magaly and Maria) we'll have a great
group on Council next year. Strongly endorse.
