I would like to lend my support to Martín’s nomination of Joan Kerr. From the conversations we have had in Marrakech and Helsinki I know her to be a strong advocate for non-commercial perspectives relating to the DNS. She has also done a fantastic job at developing strategies for expanding NPOC's membership. And she's a source of eternal optimism, something in short supply at least where I live. I am confident she would represent the NCSG well on the GNSO Council. - Ayden On 14 August 2016 at 22:44, Martin Pablo Silva Valent < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I am honored to nominate Joan Kerr for the NCSG on the GNSO Council. > > Over the years I work with her she has proven to be one of the most > rational, intelligent and skilled person I know.
