[CCWG-ACCT] NTIA Statement and more

[Sébastien Bachollet]

Thanks Marilyn
And we need to recognize you (and some other) who start the whole process.
>From my POV after the creation of ICANN1.0 and the transformation in
ICANN2.0, we are entering in a new phase (ICANN3.0?).
All those steps were painful, time consuming but also well done (thanks to
all the one involved).
ICANN is in the curent situation because of the involvement of people.
I hope this new phase will allow ICANN to serve always better the end users
(both businesses and individuals) with all the stakeholder included.

Skills are useful but diversity is essential.
