Hi Stephanie
<div>Regarding to your resignation I should say that maybe it is an extreme measure, I hope you reconsider your decision, if not I will agree with Raphael’s asuming those tasks. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Stephanie, I hope that beyond your final decision you’ll still be working on policy as you have done in the past. I think that your job is still in progress and there are some tasks that needs completing and we’ll work together to complete them. </div>

<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 clear="none">

I doubt that you will, but if you DID reconsider continuing, I'm really quite sure, everyone would be largely relieved.<br clear="none">

<p>Thanks very much for your support and your willingness to come forward and sit as interim Chair. This is great news.</p>

<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 clear="none">
</p>
<p>Thanks very much for all your support, it has been a great honour to serve with you.</p>
<p>Kind regards, <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>Stephanie Perrin<br clear="none">
