Thank you Marcus and Richard for nominating me,

I have given this some thought, and had some discussions with Jon. I had
taken up the position of Chair after significant deliberation 2 years
ago.
While I had a fairly optimistic view of the changes I wanted to bring
about
when I initially took this position :) .... I must say we have come a
long
way in terms of structuring meetings, our website, our processes within
the
ICANN framework, our initiatives. I am very happy with the level of
effort,
time and energy that the entire ex-com (Tim, Bob, John/Donna and myself)
put
in over the last two years.

After some thought, and given certain time commitments this time round,
I
believe, Jon Nevett would be in a better position, to take this torch
forward. I have always appreciated his efforts and his level of
involvement,
and I cannot think of a better person who would suit this position going
forward. Given his nomination, I am stepping down from the same. This
time
around, let me once again get back to the sidelines and rant / rave from
the
aisles :)

My sincerest thanks to EVERY member of this constituency for putting
their
faith in me for the last two terms and supporting me and the ex-comm in
various ways.

Best Regards
Bhavin Turakhia
