Erika, Thanks for informing us of the meet you had with the icann chair and details of the board resolution . as a newcomer to this CCWG, a long time participant at ICANN and a background in working with donors to support and promote internet related projects related to security and policy development I see this action as an important precedent. It sends a signal that if it that if we can’t get things moving quicker - in a timely fashion that is consistent with ICANN’s mission, in a way that follows legal frameworks for US entities, and addressing real needs , then the funding might be spent for us. That’s a real concern that should not be underestimated While I recognize a lot of important work and discussions have been undertaken by this ccwg, we have also taken a period of time that is far too long given the great needs that exist to maintain a stable, secure and interoperable internet I look forward to meeting some of you in Barcelona, hopefully at the gala tonight as well working with you virtually in the coming weeks. Regards Robert
