Dear LD PDP WG,
Thank you, Louis and Maureen, for sharing your kind words. LT/Staff were deeply saddened and shocked to hear of Alan’s passing
yesterday. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who knew him during this difficult time. Accordingly, we will add a brief moment during our upcoming meeting at ICANN86 to remember and honor him and reflect on his impact and contributions.

please feel free to add a few words during Item 2 in the Proposed Agenda below.
