Dear ICG colleagues and friends,

I was expecting to talk about this during our call today, but now that
it has been canceled, allow me to do it by e-mail.

As you may know, I will be leaving my position of CEO of AFRINIC at the
end of this month. While the RIRs have asked me to continue representing
the NRO in the ICG, which I have agreed to do, recent evolutions and
precisions in regard to what I may be doing next is making me reconsider
that commitment to the NRO. I have already notified them of this change,
and they are already working to appoint a new representative. Even
though nothing is formal or official yet about my next move, I will
prefer to withdraw from ICG now to allow the new person to join the
group as soon as possible and be prepared to attend the upcoming face to
face meeting in Singapore.

Allow me to use this opportunity to thank you all for the great spirit
of cooperation and collaboration that exist within this very diverse
group. I wish you all the wisdom and cohesion that is needed to
successfully complete this important job. A special appreciation to
Alissa, Patrik and Mohamed (Chair and Co-Chairs) for your leadership in
coordinating the work of the group. 

Wherever my next move will be, I will certainly continue to pay a
particular attention to the evolution of this transition which has been
dear to my hearth for the past 15 years.

All the best.
