<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've been offline on travel, and have come back to an honorable situation, but I must offer an adjustment, and an alternate solution.

<p class="MsoNormal">John, I am thankful for your confidence, and for nominating me. (Javier, I appreciate the vote of confidence and second)...<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">* I would like to nominate in my stead, Loris Taylor, CEO of Native Public Media, and the true force behind our Global Indigenous objectives. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Starting at ICANN50 in London with Loris, and her obvious contributions since then, I would hope that this is an obvious choice. And as Geoffrey Blackwell and I have assured ICANN and Staff, that when you have one of use you have the 3
of us. We are the united international front of Native Public Media.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Geoffrey and I will be interfacing with ICANN on many different levels, and potentially seeking different positions in the near future, but He and I are tied to Tribal obligations for the remainder of 2018, and will not be able to attend
in person to ICANN, though we intend to be involved remotely, and supporting Loris Taylor, should she get seated in this position.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I truly appreciate the nod.<o:p></o:p></p>
