<div>Thanks Christopher.<br>

Unless I missed something, this is a rather historic action. It is the FIRST time the accountability powers given to the ICANN community with its new Bylaws have been used in a proactive way, and by the part of the ICANN Community least expected to intervene
when not directly impacted. <br>
