<div>Thanks for sharing this, Sam. Looking over the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/experts-appointed-high-level-group-fake-news-and-online-disinformation" title="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/experts-appointed-high-level-group-fake-news-and-online-disinformation" rel="nofollow">
list of 39 experts</a>, it is a pity that no representatives of groups which advocate for freedom of expression were chosen. That aside, I hope ICANN shares with us the position that it is going to be taking into these discussions. What is ICANN's goal for
participating here, and what is Mr Markovski tasked with achieving, I wonder?</div>
