<p>Congratulations to Narelle and Demi on their appointment to this pivotal group, please know that like no doubt most of us here, I stand ready to assist your work in any way I can... Your time frame on this is so short but with a good team behind you (and you will have that I am sure), it should be achievable... </p>

of the process.<u></u><u></u></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:'Times New Roman';margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">
<font size="4">A mixture of applications and nominations were received. After checking with the nominees, a total of 31 candidates were considered by the Board, minus Narelle Clark, who had recused herself, acting as a whole. The pool included many strong
candidates meeting many of the criteria, however it was felt that candidates with a lesser degree of proximity to active ICANN workgroups were preferred in order to preserve the status of the Internet Society as an independent steward within this process.
In addition, candidates were evaluated on their understanding of the multistakeholder model as well as a demonstrated ability to work across all of the ICANN-related stakeholder groups with the confidence of the community. Additional experience in dealing
directly with government and commercial contracts was also highly desirable.<u></u><u></u></font></p>

in building the appropriate framework for the future management of these crucial Internet functions.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
