                should see or reconsider. My 2 XOF.<br>

                I’m not sure I understand what the objection to Rafik
                considering chairing NCUC here may be, but I would like
                to say that I am very enthusiastic about his nomination.
                He hasn’t indicated that he accepts the nomination yet,
                but I certainly hope that he does.<br>
                <br>
                Over the past two years, the NCSG has significantly
                evolved. Our relationship and standing as a GNSO
                stakeholder group with other parts of the ICANN
                community has improved dramatically, regardless of
                differences in policy positions. The NCSG has been
                consistently participating in policy development
                processes (PDP) at its different stages; including
                direct participation in PDP and cross community working
                groups, as well as providing formal NCSG input to them,
                in addition to submitting comments during public comment
                periods. We have also actively engaged in other efforts
                such as the GNSO Review, held regular meetings with
                GNSO-elected ICANN board members, held discussions with
                operational divisions of ICANN (such as the compliance
                division, civil society engagement staff, and others),
                improved the coordination within our side of the GNSO
                with the Commercial Stakeholder Group, and vastly
                improved our online presence and documentation of
                activities (take some time to browse through <a
                  moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ncsg.is/"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ncsg.is</a>).<br>
                <br>
                All of these are, in no small part, thanks to the
                commitment, seriousness and energy that Rafik has
                consistently and without failure shown. As far as I’m
                concerned, we’d be lucky to have him chair the NCUC with
                even half the dedication he’s shown NCSG. I doubt he
                would do the job at half speed, if he had it though. It
                isn’t his style.<br>
                <br>
                In any case, I hope that Rafik does consider this
                nomination favourably, and that the NCUC members are
                allowed to decide whether or not he will be chairing us
                for the next year.<br>
                <br>
                Thanks.<br>

                Amr<br>
