<div>Thanks to you, Phil, Marilyn, Aparna and Andrew for writing this comment. In the time I have been associated with the BC, I have never seen a statement that so thoroughly melds ICANN's mission and the healthy mentality of business in promoting an agenda in support of the health of the Internet for all. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>You know I am not prone to public displays of affection, but I love this short, sweet and wholly representative document.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>
<div>Today we filed the attached comment on ICANN’s proposed principles and process for IANA transition. </div>
<div> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">During the review period, several members said they supported the comment. One member (Laura Covington) suggested we cite the NETmundial success in our appeal to open the process more. To that end, I added this to item 3:</div>

<div><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Each constituency should be allowed to name individuals to the Steering/Convening Committee<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>, with the goal of having the same broad representation of interests that made NETmundial successful.</strong></span></span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">ICANN is accepting comments on their proposed principles and process for IANA transition planning. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When you look at the public comment page (</span><a style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition/draft-proposal-08apr14-en.htm">link</a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">), it’s clear we are to comment </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: underline;">only</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> on the process and scope ICANN has proposed — not on the substantive elements or outcomes of the transition. Please be sure to read ICANN’s scoping document, too (</span><a style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" href="http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/iana-transition-scoping-08apr14-en.pdf">link</a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">).</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Thanks to BC members who helped with this draft, starting with Phil Corwin, Marilyn Cade, Aparna Sridhar, and Andrew Mack. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>This comment is due 8-May. Our draft is just over 1 page in length, so the BC Executive Committee has approved a 3-day expedited review period. Please reply-all with your comments or in-line edits to the attached doc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If lively debate is continuing on 8-May, we will extend the BC review period and inform ICANN that we will be a few days late. </div>
