<div dir="ltr">I'm fine with Raphael taking the interim chair's position, although I would love to see you reconsider, Stephanie, for all of our sakes. I think you're your biggest criticiser and taking the usual suspects and whining too personally. You might
think that a vote of confidence was made, but I can assure you, the next chair will most likely be even less popular. It's an extremely tough environment to chair and to be honest, I think you've actually done everything that a chair is expected to do - you
just set the bar too high for yourself with all the other responsibilities you were hogging, including the EPDP especially.<br>
<br>
I doubt that you will, but if you DID reconsider continuing, I'm really quite sure, everyone would be largely relieved.<br>

</div>
<div>It appears that as per the Charter, we at the EC have to formally accept your resignation. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I have told you, although I think that the disagreement is not at the level of values, I personally do not plan to hold you against your will...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see the disagreement as being related to what falls within the scope of the duties of the chair and what does not. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That being said, with active support from my fellow EC members, I would be willing to be the interim chair and deliver the elections.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition, I would be glad to work with you Stephanie to start and finish the work on the job description for the chair. Could be useful for the elections. </div>

<div>A nice day to all,</div>

<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">As some of you are aware, I have decided to resign as Chair of the NCSG. It is my belief that I do not have the confidence of the membership and former leaders of the NCSG. I seem to be incapable of effectively
chairing a meeting, and this is a new experience for me which I do not wish to continue. I do not appear to share the values of the group, and this troubles me deeply as I so not wish to lead a group of people who do not share my views as to what is right
and what is wrong.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">If you would be so kind as to appoint an interim Chair, effective at the end of this meeting, I will step down and clear the field for candidates who are more in line with the views of the membership in terms of
priorities, strategies, and acceptable behaviour. Hopefully we can get the election doen before Cancun.<br>
