I couldn’t agree more with Kathy! Pedro has been invaluable in leading and coordinating several policy inputs on behalf of the NCSG. It would be great to have him here as part of the list.

Best,

Michaela

Dear NCSG PC,

I would like to propose the addition of Pedro de Perdigão Lana to this list.

Pedro, as many of you know, is the wizard behind many of our recent comments. He is tireless in his work bringing new and old members together, holding organizing calls, doing the follow-up emails, editing, and finalizing comments for submission. I would say that this work has been invaluable in the last year, and before.

That is not to take away from Farzi, Michaela, and everyone else, all amazing! We are a good team.

But in many of the Applicant Guidebook and related comments, and in our tireless (and little known work) on the Rights Protection Mechanisms Implementation Review Team, Pedro and I wrote endless emails and together reviewed many drafts of educational materials (for the RPM IRT), edited new versions of the Trademark Claims Notice (also RPM IRT), and worked with a larger group of NCSG members to review and offer edits to many sections of the Applicant Guidebook (comments to SubPro IRT).  Together, we hope we made key ICANN texts easier and more understandable to registrants and newcomers.

Recognizing everyone's incredible efforts, on the matters above, it is Pedro who finalized many of our comments and, after approval by the PC, then worked with Tomslin to submit. To make his communication easier with this Policy Committee, and recognize his ongoing work as a leader, teacher and writer of policy comments in our community, I recommend that Pedro de Perdigão Lana be added to our PC list.

Best regards,

Kathy
