<p class="MsoNormal">Hi <span class="spellchecktypo">Philippe</span>: <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for this. One clarifying question: <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the Board topic, who is “we”? The Board? The Board + ICANN
<span class="spellchecktypo">org</span>? The whole big ICANN?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For reference, the topic is: Please provide input/comments on how you think
<b><span style="color:#B51A00">we</span></b> could efficiently identify and work more closely with Governments globally, as well as educate, train and interact when it comes to geopolitical issues relating to ICANN’s mission.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know if this is a silly question or not — and if you think it is, there is no need to pursue it — but I was thinking that the advice might change depending on who “we” is. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
