<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Marilyn,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you and the others on the call this morning. I appreciated the attention and hope I was able to offer insight to my candidacy for GNSO Councilor. For BC members not on the call, I want to offer my email address (<a href="mailto:john@crediblecontext.com">john@crediblecontext.com</a>) and mobile number, 415.845.4388, should you have any question or advice.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Getting the transcript out so fast is an aid to all the BC, particularly those who might have wanted to be on the call but could not. As you read it, I think you will see as I heard this morning an urge on the part of BC members to grow the constituency, evolve the role of Councilor and the sharpen the influence of the business voice inside ICANN. I am on board for all that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>As I said this morning, there is very good reason for companies in every corner of the globe to be a part of the effort. A part of our job at the BC is to make it evident why they ought to be involved. And the role of a Councilor is to carry that consensus forward and to build coalitions that can serve as stronger platforms for policy.</div><div><br></div><div>Policy is architecture. If we get the policy right, the shape of the organization and the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet will be achieved.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>John Berard<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
