Dear colleagues
I write to advise that I will not be standing for the GNSO in the
upcoming NCSG elections. It has been a privilege to serve the
constituencies and I am very grateful to my fellow Councillors and
to Robin Gross (among others) for their support, wisdom and good
guidance during my term. However, I am finding it increasingly
difficult to give Councillor duties the attention they require and
will not put myself forward for another term.
Thank you all for your support and the opportunity to represent your
interests.
Kind regards
Joy Liddicoat.
