<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Thanks for hosting the community discussion yesterday.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I understand that follow-on comments should be directed to you, and thereby to the Charter Drafting Committee.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">In the discussion, one participant recommended that the CCWG have a finite life, and that distribution decisions not be made in such a way that the distributions be strung out over time.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">A second speaker suggested that principle should not preclude distribution to recipients/programs that seek long-term goals and funding mechanisms that foster lasting impact for the Internet
community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">This speaker also noted that these principles need not be mutually exclusive.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">The Internet Society agrees with both recommendations to the Charter Drafting Committee.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
