<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Ginger and all,</div>
<div>    There is currently an effort to organize a "Users" constituency to the GNSO that meets strong resistance from many who are involved in a new constituency for non-commercial domain name (SLD) owners. The person coordinating both efforts on behalf of ICANN is Danny Younger, who deserves a hearty thanks for a thankless job. Anyone wishing to learn more may join the list for this effort or ask me if you need directions.</div>
<div>Sincerely yours,</div>
