Congrats Tapani! Thank you to those who voted for me, and I’m happy that the NCSG has roundly supported a great candidate for Chair.
<div class="">I wish you all the best in the role.</div>

<div class="">Congrats to our councillors as well, a lot of important votes will come up over your terms on critical issues that will shape the future of both ICANN and the approach we have to the DNS in general.<br class="">

A deep thanks to the other candidates, the nominators, and everyone who checked-in, voted in the election. And also we couldn't have held the election without the tireless assistance of our admin support Maryam Bakoshi and Glen de Saint Gery from ICANN staff
. Special thanks to our departing councillor for her work and representing NCSG within the GNSO council, Avri Doria.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am really happy that we got a record turnout this time with 233 ballots casted .<br class="">
<br class="">
The term for these positions begins at the conclusion of the ICANN meeting 54 in Dublin<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Voters can check their individual ballot ID against the list of votes cast (attached) to verify that their vote was counted correctly.<br class="">
