Hello! My first contact here and I feel really welcomed like walking in a red carpet... Thank you Carlos for the kind nomination and all people who sent their support, specially who I didn't get the chance to meet before. I am honoured for that and gratefully accept the nomination to run the GNSO Council elections as NCSG representative. Thank you Milton too for helping with the messages today 8-) My nomination is a directly result of my participation in the last ICANN meeting, where I was encouraged to stand for the council. Over the weeks after Prague I have thought a lot about to run or not the GNSO Council elections, the talking to NCSG members was also very helpful. I decided to go forward because I really feel ready to bring my experience to this field. If elected I will enthusiastically serve as a NCSG Representative.
