&gt; Subject: [bc-gnso] Mikey transmogrified -- i'm pivoting towards the ISP<br>
&gt; Constituency<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; hi all,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; just a quick note to say &quot;farewell, but i won't be a stranger&quot; to all my<br>
&gt; friends in the BC.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; i'm really excited to announce that i'm a mint-fresh member of the ISP<br>
&gt; Constituency now. a gaggle of us have put together a regional peering point<br>
&gt; in the upper Midwest of the USA and i'm joining the ISP gang as their<br>
&gt; representative. check out our geeky web page at;<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; http://micemn.net/<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; while i'm really excited to be joining the ISP gang, of course i'm also sad<br>
&gt; to be leaving the BC gang where i've gotten to know so many of you over the<br>
&gt; year. but i cheer myself up by saying &quot;heck, i'm not going far.&quot; i'll<br>
&gt; still see y'all in all the usual places -- working groups, CSG, ICANN<br>
&gt; meetings and of course the bar. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; on to the administrative stuff. Bene, could you drop me from all da lists?<br>
&gt; and my departure creates an opening on the Credentials Committee. a pretty<br>
&gt; cool opportunity actually, since the BC is going to be addressing some<br>
&gt; interesting puzzles as we work through how &quot;dot-brand&quot; TLDs fit into the<br>
&gt; mix.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; thanks all! don't be strangers. my contact info is below. please use it.<br>
