skeptical of ICANN and its mission to begin with.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Ironically, in your admonition to the Empowered Community Administration, you forgot half of your homework, which was the ECA having to rescind its prior endorsement of the
NomCom’s submission of </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Lousewies van der Laan for Board Seat 2. As you have seen from the paperwork I have submitted to John Jeffrey, I have done this on behalf of the Empowered Community
Administration. And additionally, I have endorsed, on behalf of my fellow ECA members, the selection of Demic Jevtovic</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333"> to fill Board Seat 2, per the NomCom’s recommendation,
beginning at the conclusion of the upcoming ICANN meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

fellow ICANN Staff members assume to “act for us”, such as, as you suggest “…</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">happy to forward the notice on behalf of the EC Administration to speed up the process.” This is simply NOT
acceptable. I’m happy to review (and possibly accept) proposed language from staff for a particular circumstance, but again, under no circumstances can you or fellow ICANN Staff assume to act on behalf of the Empowered Community Administration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
