AW: [NCSG-Discuss] Nomination of Farzaneh Badii for the seat of NCSG Chair

[hfaiedh ines]

I wholeheratedly support Farzaneh s nomination for NCSG Chair. I had the
honour to follow Farzaneh and be inspired by her hard work and devotion
from my earliest days as an NCUC member and MEAC Working Group member. I
then had the pleasure to work closer with her this pasrmt year within the
NCUC EC team and recently in the Steering Committee of the Middle East
School on Internet Governance and I can attest that she will be a perfect
fit for NCSG leadership. I hope she accepts this nomination.
