Board Seat

[Mueller, Milton L]

Better than many choices. I like Becky personally and we share similar views on many ICANN-related issues. But don't forget she works for a registry and will always put the interests of registries first.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give everyone what I believe to be tremendously positive news for the noncommercial community.

The Contracted Party House (CPH) of the GNSO has selected Becky Burr for seat 13 on the ICANN Board.

Becky has been involved in this arena before ICANN even existed. She has worked for the FTC, NTIA, as an attorney in private practice and currently is the chief privacy officer at Neustar.

Much of what the noncommercial community achieved in the Accountability process can be attributed to Becky's receptiveness to our ideas, approaches and input. Her skill, diplomacy and ceaseless energy were demonstrated time and time again. I believe in Becky Burr the NCSG will have someone on the Board that we can always turn to and who will be receptive to our input and honest in her response.

This is a good day for ICANN generally and the GNSO in particular.

Congratulations Becky!

Best,

Ed Morris
