[NCSG-PC] Call for votes: PC Chair election

[Milan, Stefania]

+1.
Given life is busy for everyone, and sometimes deadlines come faster than we like, I kind of like the idea of a small team supporting the chair (Rafik would be great for the task). Althogh.. the PC itself is already a small team... :-)
My two cents, Stefania

+1 to having Rafik as chair. Rafik's name does not need any further comment and praising, he has showed his competence and leadership throughout the years. He will be an excellent chair.

On my side, I apologise for the low involvement on the past two months. Since the IGF I have been involved on a massive research project, with interviews and field work, which forced me to shut down to other issues for a while.

A year ago, when we were conducting the PC elections, the situation was that we were confronted with no one else willing to do it. Matt, David and I formed a team of chair and co-chairs to fill the gap and keep the ball rolling. Now we are in a different situation, and I am very happy that we are not looking at filling the void with this PC chair election, but actually developing the conditions to leverage NCSG to the next level. With the support of NCSG members, Rafik is the right person to achieve this goal.

All the best,
Marilia
