Dear All,
I can only agree with everything Kathy said, and I also support that Dr. Konstantinos Komaitis should be elected Chair of the NCUC.
I would like to add here that I am happy to remember all others who did provide NCUC leadership in various ways in the past - remembering that I joined NCUC since the 1999 Santiago de Chile ICANN meeting, on behalf of a small NGO in Cambodia which had been instrumental in bringing the Internet to this country, established the ccTLD for Cambodia, and continues to be involved in Internet affairs.

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.

Ddear people, I see no relevant reason why we should nominate
Konstantinos Komaitis for a second term, so I am doing this right now.
