    <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>
