[GNA-G All] An update from the GNA-G Leadership Team

Hi all, Our friend, colleague and collaborator Erik-Jan Bos has recently made the decision to resign from NORDUnet, to seek new adventures. His departure is set for 1 June. Erik-Jan has been a driving force in the world of R&E networking for over thirty years. He has played a key role in guiding and driving the success of GNA-G and its predecessors, GLIF and GNA. His departure will leave a huge gap in our sector in general, and in GNA-G in particular. It’s also of course an exciting time for Erik-Jan, and we wish him the greatest success in whatever his next adventure brings. With this, he’ll be stepping down from the GNA-G Leadership Team. Erik-Jan is also currently the Chair of the LT. My LT colleagues Harvey, Ivana, Buseung and Marco have done me the honour of asking me to take on this role, which I have accepted. Erik-Jan is a hard act to follow however! (We’re hoping that he’ll return to the sector elsewhere in a new role, which would allow him to rejoin us. On the chance that this happens, we will hold off before mobilising the NomCom to solicit you all for a new member of the LT.) Please join the LT and I in a heartfelt vote of thanks to Erik-Jan, and wish him all the best in whatever the future brings him.
