Hi, I would also like to express here the appreciation for your dedication and hard work during all these years. Just a funny side from Randy´s email. He called you "Feliz", clearly a typo, but in Portuguese this translates to happy. So we can say we are all happy with the work done by you. regards, Ricardo Em 05/03/2021 06:29, Nurani Nimpuno escreveu:

Dear Filiz, Thanks for your remarkable contribution to the ASO AC. I've particularly appreciated your experience, thoroughness and impartiality and be sure Nurani and I - within the council - and all the community will miss you in that role.

Dear colleagues,

I am sending this mail to inform you that I will not be able to continue my post at the ICANN ASO Address Council (ASO AC), aka the NRO Number Council (NRO NC), after 31 May 2021.

The decision did not come easy but had to be made due to various circumstances. I have full confidence that the RIPE Community will find an excellent replacement to fill in the vacancy in the next couple of months.

I would like to thank Nurani Nimpuno and Hervé Clément with whom I’ve worked closely at the council in the recent years.

I also thank you for your trust in me and giving me the opportunity to represent the RIPE Community at the ICANN fora.

Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz
