<p>Hello everyone. I regret to report that I have to step away from
the work on the Nomcom, due to personal circumstances. I know
that Canada does not likely make the news cycles in your
jurisdictions, but we are facing a recession and I am no longer at
liberty to spend half my time doing volunteer work at ICANN. I am
very sorry, but am hoping that we still have time to choose a new
delegate from the NCUC, and have that person attend training at
the annual meeting. I will continue to participate until I am
replaced if that is permissible.</p>
<p>Again, I cannot apologise enough for leaving. This has been a
very diffcult decision.</p>
<p>kind regards </p>
<p>Stephanie Perrin</p>
