Thank you, Kathy, and congratulations on the new position with PIR.   You are gonna rock for them - just like you have for NCUC!!!   We've been very lucky to have your energy and contributions over the years.   I look forward to continuing to work closely with you in your new capacity with PIR.   I think it is a terrific development for Internet policy.

Best,
Robin

          Dear All,


 In 1999, we met in Santiago and formed the Noncommercial Domain Holders Constituency – which became NCUC  (remember Milton?).  It was a wonderful and diverse crowd then – and it has become an even more wonderful and diverse crowd. I have learned so much from you – and enjoyed so much being with you.
I am here to submit my resignation from NCUC –with a sigh and a smile. Today is my first day as Director of Policy for .ORG, the Public Interest Registry.  PIR is a company filled with wonderful people, and dedicated to its motto of “Do Good” - in .ORG, in ICANN and among the Internet community.  I am looking forward to my job of developing policy with Alexa Raad, PIR CEO, and everyone in PIR.
When I drafted the NCUC charter years ago, I asked that people not be voting members of two constituencies. It seemed fair, and right, to focus energy on one primary constituency.  It is the principle I follow now as I move to join PIR in the Registry Constituency.
But I am not gone. I hope you will invite me back to NCUC meetings. I can’t wait to share with you what we are working on – and learn what you are working on. I know our work together will continue now, and in the future!
So off to the Contracted Parties Stakeholder Group I go – with the very best of wishes, hopes and admiration for all of you – and for NCUC!
All the best,
Kathy
