<p>Dear James,</p>
<p>I'd like to announce my resignation from the GNSO council with
the end of the ICANN AGM 2017 in Abu Dhabi. In accordance with the
ICANN bylaws and our procedures the ISPCP constituency held
elections to fill the seat for the remaining term. I'm happy to
announce that Philippe Fouquart from France shall take this role.</p>
<p>In addition, Tony Harris has been confirmed to continue as GNSO
council member for another two years term.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
Wolf-Ulrich Knoben<br>
<i>ISPCP Constituency Chair</i><br>
