As the vice-chair of GNSO Council, Pam would always come and share the GNSO policy discussions with the APAC community. Once I raised a question in chat by the end of one of the readouts, wasn't expecting any formal response due to the limited time. To my surprise, Pam followed up on my question with an email after the call and suggested to schedule a skype call to explain more and make sure I don't have any other questions. We ended up having a 30-min skype call where she answered all of my stupid questions with extreme patience and valuable insights. I never really talked to her before the skype call, and this was one of my dearest memories since I started participating in ICANN.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">My organization holds a capacity-building workshop every year as an effort to encourage Taiwanese youth to participate in ICANN.
