+Hello Openstack Community,
+
+I am writing to submit my candidacy for the Neutron PTL position
+during the 2026.1 cycle, continuing in my role from the 2025.2,
+2025.1, 2024.2 and 2024.1 cycles.
+
+My priorities as PTL are the same as in previous cycles:
+
+* Always make sure the stable branches are consumable downstream.
+  With the introduction of unmaintained branches, the community has
+  extended the lifecycle in a new direction. As a member of the
+  downstream community that relies on these branches, I will continue
+  to dedicate part of my time to reviewing backports and keeping them
+  maintained.
+
+* Continue to make sure Neutron stays ahead of governance timelines,
+  for example, completing eventlet deprecation ahead of schedule.
+
+* Continue pursuing CI stability.
+
+* Reduce the bug backlog. Over the past cycle we were able to keep
+  our bug backlog constant through the continued great work of a lot
+  of contributors. Having a reduction, either through verification
+  or bug fixes, continues to be one of my goals.
+
+* Introduce features for new use cases as they arise. There is a
+  constant submissions of RFEs to the project, and making sure
+  we address these use cases from, sometimes, new users of Openstack
+  can only help us to grow the community.
+
+* Making sure we are good stewards of gate resources.
+
+* Always welcome new contributors.
+
+Thanks for your support.
