Dear Co-Chairs, CCWG Members, Participants and ICANN Staff, We have just heard the great news that all chartering organizations have given approvals/indicated no opposition. This is a wonderful moment to pause to reflect on how much you have accomplished through your consistent hard work and commitment to consensus and to celebrate this great outcome. We would toast you if we were there in person, but know that we couldn’t be more pleased by this news and more proud of our role in advising you. We greatly look forward to working with you on the next steps! Holly and Rosemary and the Sidley and Adler teams HOLLY J.
