Thank you very much for your email and even more important for your
service to NPOC. Alain was a hard act to follow, but you did it. I
WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!.
I would like to nominate and very strongly recommend to the membership
Rudi Vansnick as the new Chair of NPOC.
Rudi is as far as I can see the only person available to NPOC that
brings
with him the experience, knowledge and commitment required in these
time
of change and new directions in Internet governance today. I also want
to
point to Rudis outstanding record in responsible possitions in ISOC,
GKPFÂ and other organization. Rudi is also a person that will put the
membership as his main concern. I honestly think that Rudi is today
our
best and in a way only choice to follow Marie-laure.
For your kind consideration
Yours
Klaus

Dear community members,
With regards to the upcoming elections of the Executive Committee that
have been recently announced on this list, and the corresponding call
for
nominations, I would like to let you know that, after careful
considerations, I have decided not to run again as candidate to Chair.
My
upcoming professional commitments simply won´t allow me to continue
invest
the amount of time needed to do a good work as Chair. If elected of
course, I would not want to commit to our members, knowing in advance
that
I won´t be able to deliver. This is a decision that has been hard to
take
because NPOC has now been part of my life for almost three years and
I
truly believe in its mission. In addition to the fact that being
active as
Chair is very rewarding at a professional and at a personal level, I
am
now convinced more than ever before, that the role NGOs have to play
in
the GNSO and at ICANN in general, is very relevant, so that we can
achieve
a more balanced representation of interests within the organization
and
that we can flag issues that from our perspectives, are key.
Our term as an Executive Committee ends 10 July 2014, therefore until
then
the current Excom and myself as Chair, we will continue to work and to
promote the interests of our members in the ICANN ecosystem. But I
would
like to take this opportunity to encourage any community member
interested
in being a candidate to the position of Chair, or to any other of the
positions announced, to declare itself. It is a great experience and a
meaningful cause.
Kind regards,
Marie-laure
