Congratulations on all the progress you brought to NCSG Rafik!! We
all stand on the shoulders of giants when we get here, and I want to
thank you for all your contributions, all your support for my pet
issue (privacy) and all your constructive nagging. I will miss your
reminders, but doubtless Tapani will take a lesson and figure out
automated reminders to keep us on task<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>
:-) </span></span><br>
All teasing aside, thanks for all your hard work and middle of the
night connectivity. You did a great job!<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hi everyone,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am sending this last email as NCSG chair , since my
term ends with the last day of Dublin meeting. Tapani is
officially the NCSG chair after the ICANN board session this
afternoon, I wish him good luck and keen to offer him my support
for the coming months. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I wanted to thank all NCSG members who trusted me for
2 years, also the NCSG officers. I really enjoyed serving in
such role and hoped to do more things. I could do some things,
not succeeding on others and some that I couldn't do yet. <br>
I trust Tapani will do more and being successful to reach the
goals he set, following his strategy and get inputs. He needs
all our support and help for the challenges ahead.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My focus was to improve the operational 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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">of course, I will continue my involvement and will be
happy to support our members on my personal capacity and
respond to your questions. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Best Regards,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rafik Dammak</p>
