Dear Robin

First of all I want to congratulate you for your wonderful job and great energy that you are putting to the NCUC. 260% increase in membership since 2008 is amazing. A very big thank you for all your hard work. I do appreciate it a lot!!!

I also want to thanks Konstantinos and Kathy for their wonderful contribution. Sydney was a great challenge and they did a wonderful job. Good policy is good substance. Keep the good work on this.

As I mentioned to some of you a few weeks ago, I am not be able to engage in a meaningful way in the policy work of ICANN this year due to my other commitments. However, I will do one thing, which will be try to find an expert to help you in NCUC work.

A big hug and thank you for everything,

Katitza

This represents more than a 260% increase in membership since 2008.

Thanks to all for your energy and contributions to the constituency!   

Let's keep growing and bringing new and different voices - especially from those countries who haven't played much of a role in ICANN policy in the past.

SO .... I challenge NCUC Members to each bring in a new member to the constituency in the next month - reach out to someone you know who has an interest in Internet policy, social justice, and protecting noncommercial interests at ICANN - and invite them to join the constituency and bring their expertise and experience to the policy development table.

Can we do that?   :-)

Thank you!
Robin
