the issue of filling ICANN Board Seat 13 by
Feb. 18 (tomorrow!). Because we did not have enough time to follow
our usual 14 day process to circulate comments for full BC sign on, we're
trying a modified approach. I've attempted a very short one
pager with comments for those from the BC who wish to add their names
individually . If you can sign on individually, could you let me
know?</span></font></p>
