liaison to the GAC. Since 2012, when I
attended my first ICANN meeting in Costa Rica, I have never served in a
leadership position within ICANN, but so far I have participated and
contributed in various discussions and processes. It’s an important responsibility to serve
in that position and I will do the best I can.<span></span></span></p>
