<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">As you both may be aware I have been appointed by the 2020 NomCom to serve a 3 year term on the Board of PTI (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-10-02-en),
in line with the bylaws requirements of accepting this appointment I am required to resign my current community leadership positions including serving as the GNSO non-Registry Liaison to the CSC and thus also the CSC liaison to the IANA Functions Review Team</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">In line with that requirement I have tendered my resignation to the CSC for both positions (CSC liason and IFRT liaison) effective Friday October 9th at
12:00 UTC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
