<div dir="ltr">Hi everybody,<div><br></div><div>I would like to second the self nomination of Peter Green for the position of Asian representative on the <span class="" style>NCUC</span> Executive Committee. Peter stepped up for us when Norbert resigned and has worked feverishly to get up to date and truly represent his region on the EC.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When Norbert resigned we had a bit of difficulty filling his slot. The logical choice was <span class="" style>Rafik</span>, until we realised he was already an ex-<span class="" style>officio</span> member of the EC (we really do need Bylaws reform, folks)! Two members then stepped up: Patrick <span class="" style>Lenihan</span>, an American then living in China, and Peter. After corresponding with Peter, Patrick was so impressed with him he dropped out of the race believing Peter to be the better candidate. That should tell you something about how impressive Peter really is.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me address the elephant in the room: Peter is from the Peoples Republic of China. His government doesn't share the views of many in our Constituency, including me, and it is true that Peter works in an environment much different than most of us. I'm not much for corporate receptions, so I spent a lot of time with Peter in Beijing while others were elsewhere. We had long talks about his background, his beliefs, his hopes and dreams for his country, the internet and the world. I truly believe he belongs with us and undoubtedly would make a superior Counsellor if given the opportunity for a full term.</div>
