<br>Dear Mikey<div><br></div><div>It is with regret that I read your resignation letter to the BC. You have been a wonderful colleague </div><div>and contributor to the BC, and to ICANN gTLD policy and to other parts of ICANN's work. </div><div><br></div><div>I know many of our members will join me and other colleagues in thanking you for your long membership in the BC; your work on so many many policy topics, and issues, and for your past friendship and collegiality. </div><div><br></div><div>On behalf of the BC, I will accept your notice of resignation from the BC. The BC-Secretariat has honored your request to be removed from the BC lists. :-)</div><div>With apologies if some of us from time to time accidentally use a personal string that includes you, but it is only because your involvement in the BC's policy work was so deep. </div><div><br></div><div>And so much appreciated. I know we missed you at the BC huddle on Sat and Sun night. </div><div><br></div><div>All the best in your new constituency. Our ISP colleagues are longstanding friends and another place for involvement and contribution. So, we count on seeing you in the CSG. </div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes</div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn Cade </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>> -----Original Message-----<div>> From: owner-bc-gnso@icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] On Behalf Of<br>> Mike O'Connor<br>> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 10:22 AM<br>> To: bc - GNSO list<br>> Subject: [bc-gnso] Mikey transmogrified -- i'm pivoting towards the ISP<br>> Constituency<br>> <br>> <br>> hi all,<br>> <br>> just a quick note to say "farewell, but i won't be a stranger" to all my<br>> friends in the BC.<br>> <br>> i'm really excited to announce that i'm a mint-fresh member of the ISP<br>> Constituency now. a gaggle of us have put together a regional peering point<br>> in the upper Midwest of the USA and i'm joining the ISP gang as their<br>> representative. check out our geeky web page at;<br>> <br>> http://micemn.net/<br>> <br>> while i'm really excited to be joining the ISP gang, of course i'm also sad<br>> to be leaving the BC gang where i've gotten to know so many of you over the<br>> year. but i cheer myself up by saying "heck, i'm not going far." i'll<br>> still see y'all in all the usual places -- working groups, CSG, ICANN<br>> meetings and of course the bar. <br>> <br>> on to the administrative stuff.
