<html><head></head><body>Hi,<div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Thanks for the vote of confidence, Milton. I really do appreciate it. However, it will not be possible for me to serve as a GNSO Council member on behalf of the NCSG at this time. All the time I can afford to dedicate to ICANN matters, I believe it best that I use on the EPDP, which is still far from over.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">I’m more than happy to advise or even fill in for our Councilors on the rare occasions that they require time away. I do generally keep a close eye on Council meetings and their mailing list, but having a more hands-on approach over a two-year long term is not something I can commit to right now. I hope you find this understandable.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Thanks again.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Amr<br class=""/><div><br class=""/><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 25, 2019, at 3:27 PM, Mueller, Milton L <<a href="mailto:milton@GATECH.EDU" class="">milton@GATECH.EDU</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"/><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: TrebuchetMS; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">I would like to nominate Tatiana Tropina, Ayden Ferdeline and Amr El Sadr for GNSO Council.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Tatiana and Ayden have both done excellent jobs and Amr has been a star on the EPDP team and understands GNSO process better than anyone else in NCSG.
