Today after 14 years, I retire as the leader of the policy and advice development team at ICANN. I want to express my deepest appreciation to this globally diverse group of individuals who make up the heart of ICANN. Your dedication and voluntary contributions of time and effort to policy and advice development activities have been instrumental in advancing ICANN's mission to ensure a safe, secure, and reliable Internet for all. The richness of perspectives, expertise, and passion that each of you brings to the table has created a vibrant and dynamic environment within ICANN. Together, we have achieved much, and I am proud of the collective impact we have made on the global Internet landscape. As I transition into retirement, I carry with me profound gratitude for the privilege of working alongside such a remarkable community. Your commitment to ICANN's mission is truly commendable, and I have no doubt that your ongoing efforts will continue to shape the future of the Internet and its governance. Thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and the positive impact you have had on ICANN and the broader Internet community. I am confident that ICANN will thrive in its mission for years to come.

ICANN chose Istanbul as our first regional headquarters hub because of the quality of its infrastructure, growing ICT sector, business-friendly environment and its close cultural and geographic proximity to Europe, the Middle-East and Africa.The new Regional HQ Hubs mark a significant moment in the evolution of ICANN as it prepares to spread its operational functions across three global headquarters - Los Angeles (current location), Istanbul and Singapore. ICANN is becoming increasingly international in terms of our outlook, policies and the makeup of our staff. Now our global hub strategy will take our internationalism to an improved operational level. These hub offices will become part of the core fabric of ICANN.
