FYI.<br><br>I feel very fortunate to be able to continue to work with such a great community of passionate, dynamic, and dedicated people in the At-Large community. I am certain that though there may be many viewpoints about policy, process, and structure in the community, everyone cares about making a positive difference for the individual Internet user in the important policy areas in ICANN's remit. I believe this community can do great things and look forward to doing my part to help support your efforts!
