Hi Everyone, With great pleasure,I would like to nominate *Edward Morris* for GNSO Council. Added to his several personal qualities, Edward has a very diverse education and work background that uniquely qualify him for the position. Edward is a highly qualified and active member, he has expertise in many domains, he served as a volunteer in many groups and has a lot of innovative ideas that will benefit the council and will be of added value. *I encourage you to consider his candidacy as he will be up to your expectations.* I wish good luck for all the nominated members. Best, Dhouha.
