<p class="MsoNormal">It has been a pleasure working with you through both phase 1 and phase 2 of the EPDP. I’ve always admired your ability to advocate for your constituency in a positive and constructive manner while always looking for consensus opportunities
and places of common ground. You will be sorely missed during the remainder of our phase 2 work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your countless hours of work and many contributions.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear EPDP Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Just a quick email to notify you of my resignation from the EPDP effective immediately. <br>
<br>
The IPC has selected Franck Journoud (MPA VP of Technology Policy) to take my place as one of the IPC's two primary representatives on the EPDP team. Franck has been following the work of the EPDP discussions since August and we have been working hand-in-hand
since then to ensure a smooth transition. To complete the transition I will be working behind the scenes with Franck until the end of the month. <br>
<br>
It has been a privilege to collaborate with all of you on this important policy and I wish you all much success in completing your deliberations and delivering the Phase 2 reports!<br>
<br>
Given the world is very small (and the ICANN circus is even smaller!) the odds are pretty good we will bump into each other again in the future. I very much look forward to that. <o:p></o:p></p>
