Dear Everyone, I am extremely grateful to Martin Silva Valent and Klaus Stoll for nominating me as a GNSO Councillor. I want to thank everyone for the kind words of support for the nomination. In retrospect, after lots of discussions, the work involved and experience needed, I have decided to withdraw from the GNSO nomination process. Thanks again for all the support and congratulations to all nominees. I look forward to working with you. Regards, Joan Kerr
