We will probably never know what prompted this move, but, whatever the politics involved, I would like say that I always felt that Göran believed very deeply in the multistakeholder system and was a friend to the end-user community. One of his first actions a President and CEO was to attend the NARALO General Assembly in New Orleans -- not just a giving a speech but showing a real interest and spending a day talking to us and listening to our concerns. There will be plenty of sniping and speculation, but, for one, would like to just say thanks


Seasonal greetings to all


Marita
