Hi,

I’m more than happy to second this nomination pretty much for the reasons Avri mentioned. Also, Stephanie’s work on gTLD policy predates her time on Council — having been an important advocate for privacy on the WHOIS Expert Working Group.

I hope to see Stephanie continue her work on the GNSO Council for another term.

Thanks.

Amr
