I have a question.
<div class="">The text says that “ <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class="">Anyone subscribed to the</span><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class=""> <a href="mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org" class="">UA-discuss@icann.org</a> mailing </span></font><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666984558105px;" class="">list

<div class="">I assume that it is all the subscribers of the <a href="mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org" class="">

<div class="">Thanks,</div>
