Dear Erika and Ching,

The Board is appreciative of the work of the CCWG on this important topic and welcomes the opportunity to provide input and does so in the spirit of collaboration with the CCWG in producing its final report.

Please find attached a written response from the ICANN Board CCWG-AP Liaisons, Becky and Maarten, to this request.
