While the point about the human need for rest and sabbatical is very
valid and true, organizations such as the IGC have needs too. Most of
the time (at least as long as things are going reasonably well) one
important aspect is that there is a need for a significant degree of
continuity. That is reflected in the IGC Charter by the provision to
have two coordinators with terms of office that overlap by a year.

In my (thoughtfully considered) opinion the current state of the IGC is
exceptional in that a fresh start is absolutely needed now. We are at a
point where continuity is something that IGC needs to avoid as much as
reasonably possible.

We need a fresh team of coordinators (the call for nominations for the
coordinator elections is still running until Dec 1) and a fresh
willingness among the IGC members without coordinator hat to participate
constructively.

Please everyone accept my resignation as a definitive decision, and
let's turn our eyes to the future while adopting a mindset that can
overcome the dysfunctional patterns of interaction that have plagued
IGC!

Greetings,
Norbert
