Hi all,
It's been a pleasure reading so many great applications. The decision was
tough but I will give my vote to Benjamin. His intentions to have a greater
engagement with EPDP Phase 2 and new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG will be of
great help during the following months. Moreover, he has a clear plan on
what he will be doing in Marrakech, setting a time for regional outreach,
both points that stood up when considering my shortlisted candidates.
Have a nice weekend!
Antonella.
