[Gnso-epdp-team] Resignation Redux

[Emily Taylor]

Dear Kurt

I was very sorry to read your message. I really regret that you have
decided to resign, and wish we could persuade you to reconsider.

You have worked heroically to steer this group, and coordinate with our
excellent staff team behind the scenes. We are all exhausted after the
efforts of this process but know that you have put in massive amounts of
work to prepare for the calls, the agendas, figuring out what the hell we
were supposed to be doing, when many of us were just trying (and sometimes
failing) to show up for the calls!

It has been a privilege to work with you. You can feel immensely proud of
the work you have done for the ICANN community. The final report is
something we can all reflect on with pride. It is a matter of regret that
not all of us felt able to support it in its final form - I believe it
moves the state of knowledge forward about the interaction between privacy
laws and the WHOIS.

Look forward to seeing you again in Kobe.

Warmest regards and heartfelt thanks for your work.

Emily
