 Dear Oliver: 


 His speech really a true leader shows a balance of 
 friendly activities and a great task and future expectations. It's a great 
 peace be backed by one of what I have seen 
 desempea his task with competence and good humor. It inspires us to continue 
 eager to work in this organization. 


 I join the chain of congratulations and good wishes for the year 2014 
 You and all members of the ICANN employees and coworkers 




 Ao Happy 2014 to all! 


 Ada Noblia
