<blockquote class="gmail_quote">Dear members,<br>
<br>
I would like to thank Raoul Plommer for nominating me for
another (and<br>
last) term on the GNSO Council, to all those who supported
this<br>
nomination and to those who reached out to encourage me to
consider<br>
going for that.<br>
<br>
But I cannot accept the nomination, I am considering leaving
the<br>
Council at the end of this term so that I can focus on other
projects<br>
going on in my professional life as well as in the Internet
governance<br>
space.<br>
<br>
I would like to thank the NCSG for the trust and support I
have<br>
received and for my Council colleagues for their patience with
me,<br>
their support and guidance. I have to admit it was not easy
but I will<br>
be leaving the Council in November with a lot of experience at
all<br>
levels and very good memories that I will cherish forever.<br>
<br>
I will remain active in the NCSG and the ICANN community and I
look<br>
forward to serving our stakeholder group in another capacity,
in the<br>
future.<br>
<br>
I would like to express my support for my friend Farell Folly
who is<br>
running for Council. I strongly believe he will do good as he
has<br>
proven to be a hard-working and very committed young man. I
remain<br>
available should he need any kind of advice or support during
his time<br>
on Council, if elected.<br>
<br>
My best regards,<br>
Arsene<br>
