</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Thank you, Kathy, and congratulations on the new position with PIR. You are gonna rock for them - just like you have for NCUC!!! We've been very lucky to have your energy and contributions over the years. I look forward to continuing to work closely with you in your new capacity with PIR. I think it is a terrific development for Internet policy.<BR>

Best,<BR>

In 1999, we met in Santiago and formed the Noncommercial Domain Holders Constituency – which became NCUC (remember Milton?). It was a wonderful and diverse crowd then – and it has become an even more wonderful and diverse crowd. I have learned so much from you – and enjoyed so much being with you.<BR>
I am here to submit my resignation from NCUC –with a sigh and a smile. Today is my first day as Director of Policy for .ORG, the Public Interest Registry. PIR is a company filled with wonderful people, and dedicated to its motto of “Do Good” - in .ORG, in ICANN and among the Internet community. I am looking forward to my job of developing policy with Alexa Raad, PIR CEO, and everyone in PIR.<BR>
When I drafted the NCUC charter years ago, I asked that people not be voting members of two constituencies. It seemed fair, and right, to focus energy on one primary constituency. It is the principle I follow now as I move to join PIR in the Registry Constituency.<BR>
But I am not gone. I hope you will invite me back to NCUC meetings. I can’t wait to share with you what we are working on – and learn what you are working on. I know our work together will continue now, and in the future!<BR>
So off to the Contracted Parties Stakeholder Group I go – with the very best of wishes, hopes and admiration for all of you – and for NCUC!<BR>
All the best,<BR>
Kathy <BR>
