Hello Everyone,
With pleasure and apology before the Nominations are closed, I would like to add my trivial weight to support Edward Morris to serve on the GNSO Council.
Edward is an amazing guy full of energy and expertise. When we first met during ICANN 46th Beijing Meeting, he is a good mentor of me in assisting me to involve in NCSG and NCUC.
He has a lot of energy in engaging people to come to know and work with NCSG as well as NCUC, doing a great job on accountability and transparency of ICANN, which is of significance to the global community especially for NCSG.
In addition, my support goes to Stephanie Perrin to serve on the GNSO Council, who has been leading us in terms of privacy within NCSG.
Last but not the least, I definitely support dear Rafik to serves as our NCSG Chair for another year to keep us going far in a more organized way.
Thanks for your attention.
Best RegardsPeter Green

Hi everyone,
Apologies for not having chipped in already - I've been away in one of the (small but blissful) pockets of Ireland with little or no Internet for the past couple of weeks on a family holiday.
I just want to add that I won't be seeking a nomination for a second term on Council. A bit like Magaly, while I love it, I don't feel I'll have the energies to devote to maximising our influence there over the next couple of years. So it's time to make way for someone else.
I'm thrilled to see what a great range of candidates we have, with a mix of old and new faces any stakeholder group should envy.
Thank you all very, very much for giving me the chance to be one of NCSG's representatives on Council for the past couple of years.
All the best, Maria

I fully agree with Desiree,
Rafik is doing a wonderful job as NSCG chair. We are lucky to have strong candidates like Stephanie, Ed as well Maria and David for the GNSO council. And now Marilia from Brazil.

I believe that the NCSG was never before in such good shape, or it's getting better all the time :-), i.e. so many good candidates
for other positions too: Stephanie, Dave, Edmond, etc.
