<font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">I'd encourage members to participate (whether in person or remotely) or at least follow what happens with this initiative. I believe the use of professional facilitators was due at least in part to the discussion at the Beijing meeting on policy/implementation, where a number of community members suggested that this might help move discussions forward in a productive and effective way. This is a good opportunity for newer members to learn more about how ICANN may be evolving, and for more seasoned members to contribute based on their own experiences.</font> </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">I'd like also to take this opportunity to let NCUC members know that I will no longer be an NCUC or NCSG participant at ICANN after this month, as I have recently accepted an offer from ICANN to join them as a Senior Policy Director primarily supporting GNSO projects. I'm pleased that this will allow me to continue to work with you - many of who have become great friends and advisors! - on ICANN issues. I've learned a lot in the past five years of my participation in this community, and look forward to staying in touch with everyone!</font> </p>
