[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Membership-affairs] MAT's coordinator position is now vacant

[Rogerio Mariano]

Hi Walid,
How’ve you been? I hope you are doing great. 

We are all saddened and dismayed by this news, it's a shame you can not stay because his work is credible and of great value for MAT, about the episode I stay here in Brazil seeing all the atrocities that have taken place in Yemen andIt is very sad, as son and father as my heart is embittered by all of you. I think that Einstein's phrase sums up my feelings: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. I wish the best for you and your entire family. 

Regards,

Rogério Mariano de Souza

 Dear friends,Some of you may have heard that my house in Yemen was bombed a couple of months ago, leading to the death of my brother-in-law and my niece. 
Fortunately, wasn't in Yemen at the time and I got a lot of support from many friends from ICANN, ISOC, TED and beyond, for which I am tremendously grateful. But as you can imagine, this sudden and tragic event has knocked me off balanced and severely affected my performance and many of my plans for the year. It has also led me to enter new advocacy, humanitarian and legal arenas that I wasn't prepared for and that require a lot of my attention and time.So I regret to inform you that I can no longer continue to coordinate the membership affairs team (MAT).It was a privilege and pleasure to collaborate and work with all of you. I believe that some good initial steps were taken in the form of the survey, whose results could serve as a point of departure for future work to improve NCUC members' engagement.The MAT coordinator's position is now vacant and I encourage those of you who are interested, to take this opportunity, which would allow you to engage more closely with the community and perhaps attend ICANN meetings and relevant events.Apologies for having to pull out without completing my first year as this tragedy came so suddenly. But I will remain as part of the NCUC community and contribute when I have the chance to do so.I believe it is necessary to hand the role over so that MAT's work would resume and intensify, particularly as ICANN is going through critical -and even historic- times that require a seriously committed civil society member to take over.All the very best and thanks for your understanding. Sincerely,Walid Al-Saqaf
