<div class="y_msg_container">Hi<br>
<br>
I am grateful and humbled by this nomination.<br>
Always know that NCSG can count on me and it is an honor to be<br>
nominated by colleagues on the Global South, please always count on<br>
me.<br>
However, this seems too big for me. I am still learning and NCSG<br>
representation is a huge step.<br>
Also, as a big believer in geographic diversity representation, I'd<br>
hope we have a colleague from Asia-Pacific interested on the position.<br>
We have so many good people from there.<br>
If not willing to self nominate, please write to me and I'll nominate you.<br>
<br>
I would like to support all members for continuity.<br>
<br>
Tapani, thank you for your guidance and willingness to help me when I<br>
was a newcomer to NCSG. I am sure I am not the only one and we never<br>
forget that.<br>
<br>
Stephanie, thanks for being so patient and helpful on giving advice<br>
and orientation on all things NCSG. You don't know but are a true<br>
reference to many.<br>
<br>
Edward, you have done a great saying what needs to be said in the<br>
exact moment. I hope you continue to champion difficult battles for<br>
NCSG.<br>
<br>
And David, thanks for everything you did during your term. This is a<br>
tough job and you did it well.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Renata<br>
<br>
