<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I write to let you know that due to personal reasons, I will not be applying for a second term as the At-Large selected Director on the ICANN Board. I encourage those interested in the position to apply.<br>

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please excuse the short notice as my family needed the time to discuss the matter with me. <br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I care deeply about the quality of my service to the public interest and to the community. I know that without sufficient time available, I would not be able to do them justice. After the Hyderabad meeting,
I became aware of constraints on the time that I will have available to serve effectively in a second term<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have received tremendous support and encouragement from the community, board and staff in my years of service. It has made it an absolute joy for me to serve despite the heavy demands on time. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I commit to completing my current term with the same level of dedication that I have demonstrated to date, and I urge those interested in carrying the baton forward to apply for the position so that the At-Large
may choose from a strong pool of qualified candidates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you so much for your support and faith in me. It has been, and continues to be, my absolute privilege and honour to serve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
