    <p>Hi Farell, <br>
    </p>
    <p>There's a thread this project on the EURALO list, here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2019-February/thread.html">https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2019-February/thread.html</a>
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>It seems that the ICANN legitimacy project is, well, "legitimate"
      by all accounts.</p>
    <p>Best,<br>
      Collin<br>

                    The project investigates attitudes towards ICANN

                    how these views vary and why. The findings in turn

                    development.<br class="">

                    The study is entirely independent: it is conducted

                    funding from the Swedish Research Council. You may
                    also recall that I was an independent advisor to the

                    then we would try to schedule a time that is
                    convenient for you. We can conduct the interview
