<div>Hello ICG Colleagues:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition to the ICG, I am observing (but not actively participating) on the CWG developing the Naming proposal. </div>
<div>I am a “member”, representing the GNSO, on CWG-Accountability.</div>
<div>I am not participating in the development of proposals from the Numbers or Protocols communities, and would be happy to assist in the review of these proposals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks—</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>J.</div>

<br>
I am on the ARIN Advisory Council and thus play a role in the numbers world, but other than urging the NRO to work through a global committee rather than regional ones, I have not followed or participated in the numbers (CRISP) work either at the regional or
global level.<br>
<br>
I hold Executive Committee position within the GNSO Noncommercial Stakeholders Group and am an active participant in the names CWG.<br>
<br>
I followed the IANAPlan IETF fairly actively but on the whole was a marginal(ized) participant.<br>

- Insider for the names work<br>
- Follower of and commentator on the protocols work<o:p></o:p></span></p>
