<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Constantia","serif";color:#1F497D">I have just been offered a job as a policy advisor at ISOC, which I happily accepted. As you can imagine, there is a potential conflict of interest in me continuing
performing my duties as Chair as well as my duties in the new post; at the same time, I feel that I won’t be able to represent you in the same way I did for the past year and a half. To this end, I would like to inform you that I am stepping down as a chair
of NCUC and I invoke article VII of the existing charter:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
