With great regret, hereby, from the 1st of February 2020
and forward, I resign my position as GNSO Councilor on behalf of the NCSG. I
will also remove my individual NCSG membership after that date and become a
passive reader in all ICANN list that I don’t explicitly unsubscribe, on the
other hand, the NGO I represent, Datas (<a href="http://www.dat.as" target="_blank">www.dat.as</a>), will remain with other
representatives. Until that date, I will continue as normal.</span><u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:rgb(28,30,41)">This
decision has no specific motive other than I cannot continue working at ICANN
as a volunteer philanthropist, for free with no job behind it nor funds to
justify it. Especially considering I been uninterruptedly working in that
condition for over 6 years with ICANN. Starting as an NCSG-NCUC member back in
2013, later a Fellow, then an NCSG-NPOC member, NPOC Secretariat, NPOC
Vice-Chair, Fellowship Mentor and GNSO Councilor. Always working with
Intellectual Property, Data, and Human Rights issues. I would love to come
back, but not anymore as a philanthropic for-free professional. Time will tell,
I am always open for opportunities.</span><u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:rgb(28,30,41)">
I will continue to develop the Technology Governance and
Tech Policy issues we have been dealing with over the years at Datas, like
Internet Governance, Innovation, and Algorithm Governance. I will also continue
my work as a business lawyer and business developer (</span><a href="http://www.silva.legal/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(74,110,224)"><span>www.silva.legal</span></span></a><span>, </span><a href="http://www.metrospaces.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(74,110,224)"><span>www.metrospaces.com</span></span></a><span>, </span><a href="http://www.casavisconti.mx/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(74,110,224)"><span>www.casavisconti.mx</span></span></a><span>, </span><a href="http://www.ikal.wine/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(74,110,224)"><span>www.ikal.wine</span></span></a><span>, and others). This year I will also be finishing
the Executive MBA that I started last year at University Torcuato Di Tella
(right now with an ongoing thesis in Blockchain DNS Governance thanks to my
experience at Fuqua School of Business at Duke University). I am probably also
going to cut in half my teaching at the University of Palermo, where this past
semester I taught three Technology Law courses in Grade and Master at Computer Engineering
to only a class at the Constitutional Law Master. I will continue doing the research and publishing papers.</span><u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="text-align:start;text-indent:0px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:rgb(28,30,41)"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>I
