[Chapter-delegates] Thank you, Andrew and Gonzalo

[Richard Barnes]

Thanks for your comments here, Dave.  It's heartening to know that the
board's decision is at least plausible to you now :)

I agree that we have significant work to do.  There are good conversations
to be had about how we balance inclusiveness and our multistakeholder
approach with the ability to be agile and decisive.  If we can work through
this, we'll come out as a stronger community.  Together with the resources
resulting from the sale, that will enable us to do a lot of good for the
Internet.

--Richard
