<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Dear Gwen,</span></p> 
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">hello Don,</span></p> 
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"> &nbsp;</span></p> 
<p class="MsoNormal">I am contacting you because Jean-Jacques and me are exchanging thoughts on joint activities of ICANN and eco in 2016. One of the events we are discussing about is the Customer Summit of the Certified Senders Alliance (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://certified-senders.eu/">https://certified-senders.eu/</a>).
 I am responsible for the Names &amp; Numbers Forum working group at eco (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://numbers.eco.de/international.html">https://numbers.eco.de/international.html</a>), lead by Thomas Rickert.</p> 
<p class="MsoNormal"> &nbsp;</p> 
<p class="MsoNormal">The Certified Senders Alliance is a joint project by eco &#8211; association of the Internet industry (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://international.eco.de">https://international.eco.de</a>) and German Dialogue Marketing Association (DDV,
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ddv.de">https://www.ddv.de</a>). The summit addresses the technical email community at E-Mail Service Providers and Internet Service Providers. Attached to this email you find a briefing paper for the event. From my point of view it is
 a perfect target audience to address Universal Acceptance. Jean-Jacques and me already discussed in general that it would make sense that ICANN appears on the agenda for a presentation or &#8211; if it may make sense &#8211; a workshop. With an &#8220;powered by ICANN&#8221; contribution
 we could give that topic the value we think it deserves. &nbsp;The Summit will take place 21<sup>
</sup>April 2016 (main event) in Cologne. The whole event will be held in English.</p> 
<p class="MsoNormal"> &nbsp;</p> 
<p class="MsoNormal">Why I am contacting you right now is that Jean-Jacques and me were thinking about who may be the right person for giving a presentation / workshop on UA to mainly email administrators. To make it valuable, a deeper knowledge in technical
 layers is needed. When it comes to the UASG there are of course several persons who would be a perfect match. But maybe you have additional ideas who would be a good choice, maybe also based in Europe. I would appreciate your feedback on this and say &#8220;thank
 you&#8221; in advance for your efforts.</p> 
<p class="MsoNormal"> &nbsp;</p>
