Dear colleagues<br>
I write to advise that I will not be standing for the GNSO in the
upcoming NCSG elections. It has been a privilege to serve the
constituencies and I am very grateful to my fellow Councillors and
to Robin Gross (among others) for their support, wisdom and good
guidance during my term. However, I am finding it increasingly
difficult to give Councillor duties the attention they require and
will not put myself forward for another term.<br>
Thank you all for your support and the opportunity to represent your
interests.<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Joy Liddicoat.<br>
