[governance] Upcoming elections and the end of my term

[Katitza Rodriguez]

Dear Ian

Gracias for your wonderful work on the caucus and for your commitment  
to defend the public interest at any time when you have the  
opportunity to intervene. It was nice working with you in this last  
igf in Sharm, and I wish you the best. But please, do not disappear.   
I truly hope you remain pretty active in the list.

Big Hug,

Katitza
