Nomination for NCUC Chair - Second

[nhklein]

Dear All,

I can only agree with everything Kathy said, and I also support that Dr.
Konstantinos Komaitis should be elected Chair of the NCUC.

I would like to add here that I am happy to remember all others who did
provide NCUC leadership in various ways in the past - remembering that I
joined NCUC since the 1999 Santiago de Chile ICANN meeting, on behalf of
a small NGO in Cambodia which had been instrumental in bringing the
Internet to this country, established the ccTLD for Cambodia, and
continues to be involved in Internet affairs.
