A Fond Farewell from Kathy

[Kathy Kleiman]

Dear All,


In 1999, we met in Santiago and formed the Noncommercial Domain Holders 
Constituency -- which became NCUC (remember Milton?). It was a wonderful 
and diverse crowd then -- and it has become an even more wonderful and 
diverse crowd. I have learned so much from you -- and enjoyed so much 
being with you.

I am here to submit my resignation from NCUC --with a sigh and a smile. 
Today is my first day as Director of Policy for .ORG, the Public 
Interest Registry. PIR is a company filled with wonderful people, and 
dedicated to its motto of "Do Good" - in .ORG, in ICANN and among the 
Internet community. I am looking forward to my job of developing policy 
with Alexa Raad, PIR CEO, and everyone in PIR.

When I drafted the NCUC charter years ago, I asked that people not be 
voting members of two constituencies. It seemed fair, and right, to 
focus energy on one primary constituency. It is the principle I follow 
now as I move to join PIR in the Registry Constituency.

But I am not gone. I hope you will invite me back to NCUC meetings. I 
can't wait to share with you what we are working on -- and learn what 
you are working on. I know our work together will continue now, and in 
the future!

So off to the Contracted Parties Stakeholder Group I go -- with the very 
best of wishes, hopes and admiration for all of you -- and for NCUC!

All the best,

Kathy
