Dear All,
I would like to second Carlos' nomination of Dr. Konstantinos Komaitis 
as Chairman of NCUC. I do this out of the greatest respect for 
Konstantinos, and out of a great sense of pride. When we founded the 
NCUC in 1999, just a handful of people, we hoped that strong leadership 
would follow. Frankly, we had no idea where it would come from as ICANN 
was an obscure organization, and few cared about our issues.

Fortunately, strong leadership followed over the years for NCUC, most 
recently by Robin Gross and Konstantinos. This leadership broadened and 
expanded the Constituency into one of the largest and most diverse 
within ICANN, and an active leader on many issues, including fair and 
balanced rules for the New gTLDs.

Konstantinos studied ICANN before he joined us, and his dissertation on 
the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy is now a well-regarded book. He 
understood our crazy policy process -- and yet he still joined ICANN :-) 
In Dakar, and many meetings before, he has shared his outstanding 
ability to lead, teach and encourage the broadest of discussions and 
participation.

Accordingly, I wholeheartedly second Carlos' nomination of Konstantinos 
for a second term.
Kathy
