color=#0000ff size=2>Thanks for your work on this, Chuck. Because I do
not agree that "there is strong support for the agreed-to amendments" across
the entire ICANN community, I suggest that that language be removed or,
alternatively, revised to indicate the segments of the community within which
there is strong support.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
