Desde que te has trasladado a Dubai has mostrado mucho inter\u00e9s no s\u00f3lo por mejorar t\u00fa mismo, sino por ayudar en todo lo posible a que los dem\u00e1s mejoren. Menci\u00f3n especial merece nuestra conversaci\u00f3n sobre los GPTs en eliminatoria simple, que es un problema que si no fuese por ti habr\u00eda seguido siendo algo que nadie habr\u00eda hecho esfuerzos por solucionar. En este caso en particular me gust\u00f3 mucho que no te limitases a apuntar el dedo al problema, ya que adem\u00e1s intentaste proporcionar tu ayuda para solucionarlo.

People sometimes say that all reports are similar and that they don&#8217;t add much value, but with this particular report you were able to provide with information that helped me identify a particular aspect of policy that was being misunderstood by more people. This way I had the chance to explain it in detail to others, helping them learn the correct way to rule on these situations. I also want to thank you for your calm attitude in the local communication channels, you are always open to discuss things and approach conversations with an open mind, you don&#8217;t show yourself as stubborn or opinionated. <\/p>\n<p>Even though when most of the time you are right in your opinions you are truly interested in hear what others have to say, which is something that makes my job as Country Coordinator so much easier!<\/p>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both; height: 1px; margin: -1px 0pt 0pt; overflow: hidden;\"><br \/>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/19566502\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=19566502&size=200 alt=\"Rick Salamin\nL2, Vermont (USA)\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rick Salamin<br \/>\nL2, Vermont (USA)<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I keep being amazed with your attention to detail and with your reliability in the judge projects we work on together. Despite your recent focus on other matters when it comes to judging you still keep an eye open for stuff that is important for the projects, and you keep again and again proving how much initiative you are able to display. Examples that come to mind are getting the Ohio judge conference pic published, and very specially the improvement of using the GP Logos on recent GP staff pics. I also would like to thank you for your help recruiting new blood for some of our projects.<br \/>\n<br style=\"clear: both; height: 1px; margin: -1px 0pt 0pt; overflow: hidden;\">At some point we were even considering letting some of those projects die, but you persevered and were instrumental in identifying who would be a good candidate for you to pass the torch on.

This time I&#8217;ll choose your work dealing with that super cool article you wrote on the Exemplar statistics for the region. You saw you could help in improving something that I did before you in the previous wave, and offered your help to get it done once again. You have embraced the &#8220;better done than perfect&#8221; motto we discussed earlier this year, and that attitude of yours making you available to give continuity to community efforts is something that always makes me think how much I&#8217;d love to have ten more like you in the region.

En esta ocasi\u00f3n quiero reconocer lo bien que gestionastes los problemas con el WMCQ que fuiste HJ en Barcelona. Conseguiste llevar el torneo a buen t\u00e9rmino, y tomaste las decisiones que hab\u00eda tomar cuando fue necesario. Esto no fue f\u00e1cil, pero hab\u00eda que hacerlo, y estuviste a la altura de las circunstancias. Tu report sobre el torneo fue valiente, honesto, pero no hostil. Ayudaste as\u00ed al resto de los L3s en la regi\u00f3n a entender la naturaleza del problema, y eventualmente a llegar a una soluci\u00f3n aceptable para todos.<\/p>\n<p>Sigue trabajando igual de bien, y nunca pierdas esa bondad y alegr\u00eda que tanto nos ayuda a los dem\u00e1s cuando las cosas se tuercen.
