Dear Cintra

Greetings and Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, after further thinking this through, I will not make myself available as a GNSo councilor, together with Sam or not.

Sorry about this, I still feel that I can be more effective elsewhere.

Yours

Klaus

Since there are multiple GNSO Council Positions up for election I would support us nominating both Sam and Klaus for elections, I ask that Klaus reconsider his position. We do not have to choose just one NPOC member to run, I feel that Klaus has had a very short tenure at the Council and his level of contribution and comfort will increase in this second term.

As for Sam's nomination, I agree that this year has been tough but at the same time there are opportunities that should be seized. My only concern is that we will lose our Policy Committee Chair if Sam is elected and should therefore appoint a Policy Committee Vice Chair in order to ensure our policy committee is sufficiently beefed up and to facilitate a smooth transition if necessary.

Looking forward to further discussion and consideration of these points.

Regards

Cintra Sooknanan

    Dear NPOC Friends

    Greetings. I am honored to receive the nominations for a second
    turn as GNSO councilor, but I feel that it would be better this
    time that I am not standing and that Sam should take my place.
    Sam, with his strategic Vision and Mission is what the GNSO needs
    and I would like to put all my energy in developing NPOC and the
    voice of the NGO's and end users in IG and ICANN. I think I we are
    wasting talent by not sending Sam to the GNSO and also by me not
    concentrating working with you on the practical aspects of real
    stakeholder engagement. Sam is the better councilor as he will be
    the better ICANN Board member, (I have not given up on this for a
    long time yet, whatever the NCSG says and does!)

    In the hope that you can agree with this vision for the short term
    future.

    Yours

    Klaus
