<div>Agree that it is not appropriate to mention staff changes in the DAG comment letter.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has ICANN<a></a> really lost "much of its senior management team"? I know that Brent and Giza are leaving, but are there others? In any event, unless<a></a> there's an epidemic of such departures<a></a>, and unless we know the specific reasons for them,
it is inappropriate to assert that they indicate problems with the new CEO -- in fact, my experience is that most large organizations<a></a> see some significant staff turnover in the year after a new CEO comes on board. </div>
