my nomination

[Chris Chiu]

As you may recall, earlier this week I had been nominated for a post on the NCUC Executive Committee. At the time, I was under the impression that the time and energy committments were too great for me to accept, given the other committments I had.

However, several recent events have led me to reconsider my decision. For one thing, upon further consultation, I have been convinced that the time and energy committments required for the post are, in fact, within my abilities. In addition, while I have always believed that the EC would play a crucial role in helping to steer and ultimately amplify discussion of ICANN issues from a noncommercial perspective, the responses I have received over the past few days have, if anything, further impressed upon me the importance of the EC in this regard. Given these and other facts, I realize now that my nomination to the EC represents an opportunity that is far too valuable to cast aside.

Based on this reconsideration and reflection, I have decided to formally accept my nomination to be on the NCUC Executive Committee. Thank you for your consideration and understanding!
