Good day everyone, I also support Sarah Kiden's nomination. She has been excellent in the Secretariat role: so organised and on top of things.She is committed to increasing diversity in internet governance conversations, especially within ICANN. Like several others have mentioned, she was also my ICANN Fellowship mentor and provided invaluable support to myself and her other mentees.Regards, Oreoluwa Lesi
