Agreed, this is understandable but nevertheless a huge loss for NCSG.
<div class="">A real pity.<br class="">

<div class="">this decision saddens me even if I know that you didn't make it easily and you thought about the NCSG interest. it is definitely a mark of real leadership.</div>
<div class="">I enjoyed working with you since we were together at the NCUC EC till now when cooperating as NCSG Chair and Policy Committee Chair.</div>
<div class="">I know that you are not leaving and hope that can travel again, joining ICANN meetings asking your usual sharp questions :)</div>

<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="">Dear NCSG Members,</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="">I have to sadly announce that I will not be able to seek re-election for NCSG chair in the upcoming elections. This was not an easy decision but I believe it is in the best interest of NCSG and myself. I
cannot travel outside of the US for potentially a year and it is very uncertain when I will be able to start traveling again. While attending the meetings remotely can be very effective, NCSG chair position requires presence in meetings. NCSG members and leaders
went out of their way to help me in ICANN 62, carrying out many of my tasks in Panama. But NCSG chair has to build connections with other stakeholder groups and SO/ACs, and hold many other meetings that need to be done face to face during ICANN meetings and
it is a struggle to delegate since full engagement with the tasks leading up to the meetings is very much needed and cannot be effective with briefings. Many of the NCSG leaders are also very busy and it is not fair to burden them with NCSG Chair tasks. I
certainly do not want to take away the chance from NCSG to have an effective NCSG chair who can attend the meetings and further NCSG interest.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" dir="auto" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" dir="auto" class="">It's a difficult time for me personally and professionally. But I have enjoyed the challenges and working with you. Thank you for your trust and sorry for the shortcomings.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" dir="auto" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="">I will continue carrying out my tasks as usual. When the elections end on 21st of August and results are announced, I will arrange for the new NCSG chair to be involved with all the tasks leading up to ICANN
63 so that the Chair can run the Barcelona meeting in person. I will also work with NCSG EC and those members that will be present in Barcelona to have a fully engaged NCSG. </div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="">This is not a goodbye. I will see you around (well remotely) and remain committed to having a smooth transition for the next NCSG chair. I will also help NCSG to advance its values and promote what we stand
for in domain name policy. </div>
