* Osamu Akashi (NII - National Institute of Informatics, Japan) * Dale W. Carder (ESnet, USA) * Ivana Golub (PSNC, Croatia/Poland) * Renier Van Heerden (SANREN, South Africa) * Brenna Meade (Indiana University, USA)   * Marcos Schwarz (RNP, Brazil)   * David Wilde (AARnet, Australia) - for 2 years. * Chris Wilkinson (Internet2, USA)

Along with Alex Moura, who will continue within his term, the leadership of the GNA-G is now back at full strength. We want to thank the nominees, all highly qualified and strong members of the GNA-G community, for volunteering as a candidate for the LT. Your dedications and enthusiasm is an important part of what makes the GNA-G exciting. We also want to thank all the people that gave their feedback. Only with your input we were able to run this process successfully. You provided valuable community guidance emphasizing the importance of continuity, geographic diversity and technical expertise, alongside a strong demand for management experience. We believe this group ensures the LT is fit for the years ahead.

We want to congratulate the new people with their position in the LT. Together with Alex, Ivana and David we wish you good luck in this essential role. Finally, we express our gratitude to Buseung Cho, Marco Teixeira & Harvey Newman who have been the big drivers behind the GNA-G for many years. Without them in the LT, this community wouldn’t be as successful as it is today.

On behalf of the NomCom, Kind regards, Alexander van den Hil
