            <div dir="ltr">Raoul, thank you very much again for this
              excellent nomination. Avri's work speaks for itself. Very
              few people in the Internet governance sphere (inside and
              outside ICANN) could possibly claim to have the experience
              that Avri has gathered throughout the years. She does not
              only understand ICANN from a technical and policy aspects
              deeply; she also understands ICANN's place in the whole
              ecosystem, which is a very important quality for someone
              who is expected to chair the NCSG. 
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>More recently, Avri has accepted the huge
                responsibility to co-chair the new gTLD subsequent
                procedures working group, probably one of the hardest,
                heaviest in terms of workload and most divisive ones in
                the current ICANN policy making landscape. She does it
                with great substantive and political skills. She is
                highly respected from bottom-up and top-down, there is
                no one that fails to recognise her value as a
                participant, as a leader and as a facilitator of
                processes. </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Avri has a PhD in speaking the "hard thruths" that
                need to be said - something which is extremely important
                for NCSG - and also knowing how to avoid the minefields
                and political sensitivities. She can be combative when
                needs be; she can be diplomatic when needed. Last but
                not least, Avri is a wonderful human being, authentic,
                loyal and kind. </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>All the support to Avri for this position if she

                                  ICANN and especially for the NCSG over

                                <div>On a personal level, I've had many
                                  discussions with her about various
                                  subjects on Internet Governance, both
                                  in the IGF as well as ICANN and she's
                                  always been helpful in explaining
                                  things, giving historic context to
                                  past decisions and on the "way things
                                  are", with ease and without getting
                                  frustrated even with a curious rookie

                                </div>
                                I've heard she might be reluctant to
                                take this position on, but I'm hoping to
                                rally some support for her so it would
                                become at least that little bit harder
                                to turn the nomination down. I believe
                                there is no one else, who is more
                                familiar with the intricacies of running
                                a stakeholdergroup of the civil society,
                                in the ICANN environment. I hope others
