All the best with your post-Chair ICANN life. I want to thank you. <br>
I have moved slowly out of rank novice to moderate ex-novice <br>
during your NCSG leadership regime and have learned a lot. <br>

Tapani is officially the NCSG chair after the ICANN board

I trust Tapani will do more and being successful to reach

side of NCSG like membership management, being able to
influence more policy by regular submitting public comment,
and more important being able to engage our members and let
them more involved in policy making process, to communicate
and collaborate with other groups and communicate better
about NCSG activities. That was built in what my
predecessors did and I am passing this now to the new chair.
I will also make a self-evaluation and self-criticism in
timely manner. I did the hand-over with Taapni and
everything should be ok. You will also receive details of
recordings of NCSG sessions in Dublin meeting and there will
be follow-up.</i></small></p>
