[NCUC-DISCUSS] Resignation letter, from the 1st of February 2020 and forward, to GNSO Council and NCSG membership

[Martin Pablo Silva Valent]

Milton, my only regret is that we couldn't get to know each other more. I
am sure there was friendship material there.

I loved my time at icann, I hope I can come back. For now it was just
impossible to keep it going with no justification other than intellectual
curiosity and philanthropy, when I do have to pay my rent and answer to
partners.

I will be around for sure. Don't hesitate to reach, and email, a coffee or
a beer.

Best of all
Martin
