<p class="MsoPlainText"> Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"> After much consideration and evaluation I have decided to resign from the SSR2 review team. This is due in part to the changes in my personal life, my employment in a new role and also partly due to the situation that the SSR2 review
currently finds itself in. I feel that its very unfortunate that there has seemingly been a loss in trust from the community in the review team and I feel that the work and dedication from the review team members should be recognised.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> When the review (hopefully) restarts I hope that the community leaders choose to make a strong declaration of support of their appointed members and empower them to run the independent review in the same fashion that the reviews
were executed in previous years and iterations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> I hope to continue my involvement in the ICANN community including representing the non RYSG GNSO community on the CSC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> I wish to wish the review team the very best of luck in executing against the plan and will likely sign up as an observer to the review team in the new year.<o:p></o:p></p>
