<div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">I believe ISOC needs to take strong stands where we can make a difference in the cost of access. We are doing good work on Community Networks. I support CN and have even volunteered for two of them. But CN's
are highly unlikely to cover more than 2%. We also need policies that will make a difference for the other 98%, as I've written here before.</div>

generous person I've always respected, never overcame her big company background as a Verizon advocate. I'm hopeful Andrew can lead the change we need.</div>
