<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px"><div>Hi James,</div>

<div> </div>

<div>I certainly find this acceptble and consider it a friendly amendment.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>I'd like to offer my congratulations to Emily, Naveed and all of our applicants for a position on the SSR RT. I don't think we could have gone wrong with any of our thirteen candidates. It was an exceptionally talented group of people. We are so very lucky in the GNSO to have such an exceptional group of individuals willing to serve our community.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Kind Regards,</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Ed Morris</div>
