GNSO Council Announces Election of Chuck Gomes as Chair

The GNSO Council is delighted to announce the election of Chuck Gomes as Chair, Olga Cavalli as interim Vice Chair of the Non Contracted Parties House and Stéphane Van Gelder as Vice Chair of the Contracted Parties House. The permanent Vice Chair of the Non Contracted Parties House will be communicated in the next few weeks.

The Council wishes to thank the outgoing Chair Avri Doria for her years of outstanding service and dedication. It is our feeling that the Council, the GNSO and the ICANN Community in general have been very fortunate to have Avri work so hard and so selflessly as Chair of the GNSO Council.
