<div>Hi,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">+1 to all of Stephanie’s observations. I’m also very sorry to see Martin go. Apart from the work he’s been doing on behalf of the NCSG on the GNSO Council and the RPMs PDP, Martin’s always been a great colleague to work with in a personal, not
just professional context. I’m going to miss the positive energy he projects.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks, Martin, for being a part of the NCSG these past years, and best of luck to you moving forward.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks.</div>

<p class=""><font size="+1" class=""><font face="Lucida Grande" class="">I am very sorry to see you go. I would like to echo what Joan has said, it is a great loss to our community...I have seen how hard you have been working and how passionate you are about
our issues. I hope that you will stay in touch and that perhaps remain in the background, mentoring some of our new recruits.</font></font></p>
<p class=""><font size="+1" class=""><font face="Lucida Grande" class="">I would like to underscore here that it is a lot of work, volunteering for NCSG work. It takes time, and unless we coordinate well, folks are often left carrying a heavy load alone on
whatever committee, review team, or pdp they are staffing. We need to share the load better.</font></font></p>
