..................................................................................

It has been a pleasure to work with you. You've brought a combination of intelligence, broad spectrum of multicultural talents, good sense and unfailingly poise that sets a firm baseline for future employees.
Stephen Crocker; ICANN, Member of the Board of Directors 2008 - 2011

I wish to thank you for having carried out such a comprehensive evaluation in time and budgetary constraints (...) I appreciate all the more the interest you showed and the energy and commitment of your team for a rich and complex topic. Please extend my congratulations to your colleagues.
Marianne Hildebrand; European Commission, Directorate-General for Education and Culture,
Head of Unit

Marco gained immediate respect in my eyes for several reasons:
• He was a very fast learner, quickly coming up to speed on complex policy issues
• He understood the interrelationships and interdependencies of policy issues across multiple institutional bodies as well as on the Internet Domain Name Space as a whole
• He was able to meet very tight deadlines (…)
• He was able to maintain a pleasant composure in the face of oft-heated debate among contributors
• He produced terse, coherent, and balanced policy drafts that reflected the spectrum of inputs without injecting his own views into the material
• We could always count on Marco to deliver on time, and, at the risk of repeating myself, cheerfully.
Steven N. Goldstein; ICANN, Member of the Board of Directors 2006 - 2009

Mr Lorenzoni has performed his tasks to our entire satisfaction. Throughout his assignment, we have had the opportunity to appreciate his professionalism, his concern for quality and his commitment to meet deadlines (...) He has a flavor for human relations and manages to convey his messages in a very clear way.
The final report provides an accurate picture of the programme and contains very useful recommendations that we intend to apply in different contexts. I would unhesitantly recommend Mr Lorenzoni to other departments of my Organisation as well as external partners.
Giovanni Battista Celiento; Council of Europe, Directorate of Strategic Planning, Head of Unit

Our perusal of your evaluation report (...) confirms our high regard for you as an evaluation specialist. The report is comprehensive, yet to the point, well structured and with clear messages which are fully substantiated and explained respectively. (...) Once again, many thanks for your valuable contribution.
Thomas Knecht; Swiss' State Secretariat for Economic Affairs - SECO

(...) the methodology you introduced brought clarity, making it easier (...) to understand what was at stake, and how to deal with often complex questions. The way you laid out, in clear charts, the result of ongoing analyses, the options before us, the recommendations you thought were sustainable, was a model of what should be provided for decision-making. During the time I’ve been on the Board, your contribution to the review work has been exceptional, both in its scope and in its efficiency. In addition, you could always be trusted to point out the impact a choice in one sector (...) would have in another (...), always helping us keep in mind the larger picture. Your familiarity with a diversity of cultural references was also an asset.
Jean-Jacques Subrenat; ICANN, Member of the Board of Directors 2007- 2010

Throughout the assignment Mr. Lorenzoni has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and has managed within a short time frame and complex environment to complete a thorough and professional evaluation of the programme.
