You’ll be missed - and I wish you all the best at your impressive new venture. </div><div><br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature"><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Christian Dawson</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><i class=""><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Executive Director<o:p class=""></o:p></span></i></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2C)<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">c: <a href="tel:703%20623%202612" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1/0">703 623 2612</a></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span class=""><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://i2coalition.com/" class="">http://i2coalition.com</a></span></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span class="" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="">PGP: </span><font class=""><span class="">22DF5493</span></font></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="">Fingerprint: </span><font class=""><span class="">7C95 A3BE 1E10 <a href="tel:4864%208417" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="2">4864 8417</a> DCED B9E1 C8FD 22DF 5493</span></font></span></div></div><div><br>On Oct 29, 2017, at 9:27 PM, Neil Schwartzman <<a href="mailto:neil@cauce.org">neil@cauce.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">All,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I've decided to withdraw from this and other anti-abuse groups.
