[NCUC-DISCUSS] Raoul Plommer's Report from Hyderabad

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Raoul - Great job. Your report gave a simplistic perspective to ICANN
meeting and your writing and discussion brought the message home.

Thank you for such amazing job. I look forward to your dissection of NCUC/
ICANN issues. I felt like I was in Hyderabad.
The bylaw versions contrast was good initiative.

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame with the media. All the best.

I am your fan now.

Thank you and a great job.
Benjamin
