<p>Sebastien,</p>
<p>Thank you for following up on this.</p>
<p>As an addendum, I fully intend to pursue increasing our
interactions with the Board. Do you feel that this objective falls
under this goal, or is it something that can be advanced on its
own?</p>
<p>Best,<br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Councillors,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the SPS it was suggested we start a
small team tasked with bettering our communication, to improve
the way we communicate our successes, with an aim to counter
some of the negative press we, ICANN and the Community may
have received of late.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The small team has yet to be formed, let
alone start its work, but we have an Additional Budget Request
deadline to meet by end of January. We intend to lodge this
request pre-emptively, and will let the small team direct how
to spend the said budget should it be allocated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please review and comment the request.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note that this is independent from the
other ABR we are lodging this year regarding the Consensus
Playbook and educational material to be developed from it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kindly,</p>
