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.
