[NCSG-EC] [NCSG-PC] Fwd: Fwd: ICANN Excellence award - IPC will nominate Jeff Neuman

Wed Mar 25 00:48:55 EET 2020

I would totally support a Joly nomination.  Also I agree with Kathy we do
not need to support the other candidate given some of the positions they
have taken in the past.

best regards
Dorothy
