[ga] RE: in response to a question about a letter regarding ICANN reform

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Marilyn,
I take that as a yes to my question about your authorship of the letter.
Apologies for the earlier bad link. Please answer Danny's questions about
how each organization was authorized by its members to arrive at the
decision to support the contents of the letter.

Thanks,
Joanna
