<p dir="ltr">Thanks to Rafik and the NCUC EC,<br>
In the short time I've been with you, I could notice the energetic critical dynamics of this group. <br>
I've known Farzi, since ICANN 53 and since then I've been with her on different working groups. Noticing her clear knowledgeable position, makes me join the others in supporting her hoping she can afford the time to accept the role of the Chair.<br>
