<div>James,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for sharing this wonderful news with us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can not think of anyone in the ICANN community more deserving of a slot on the Board than Becky Burr. Her integrity, unceasing work ethic sand skill set are without match in the ICANN community. Compliments to my colleagues in the CPH for their extremely
wise decision. Becky is just what ICANN needs as it transitions to independence.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is good news for ICANN, good news for the GNSO and good news for the internet world.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Congratulations Becky!</div>

<div>Best,</div>
