Thank you everyone for kind words!

Now I still have one year to go.  Thank you for your support on my service until then, and I pretty much look forward to another opportunity to meet you guys properly in person!!

All the Best,
Akinori

Dear Number Council members,

Time flew remarkably quickly until now since I was appointed to Seat 10 in 2016.  I chose to share my thought with you in the earliest chance that I will not file my candidacy for the third term.  I am grateful that you appointed me twice in 2016 and then in 2019.  

ICANN Board position is tough, never easy but rewarding and precious experience.  I will try my best in the time left until the term end.

E-see you around but looking forward to seeing you in person soon!!

Sincerely Yours,

Akinori
