Hello,

My name is Jill Keogh and I know you do not know me, nor I you.   I am an enthusiastic new comer and am asking for your
support.  Will you please consider endorsing my nomination?  You are probably asking yourself:  Why would I endorse you?

If you are looking for a new perspective by someone who is not entrenched in the infrastructure of the internet and who can
bring an unbiased voice to the process, please consider me for your endorsement.  The best reasons you may endorse me
include:

1.  You are interested in putting your recommendation in for a board member who will keep you informed.  I will do this by
keeping the ga in regular email communications such as this one.

2.  You are one of many people who are not closely knit in the organization and want someone like yourself represented.   You
too may not know many people in this organization.  I do not know anyone. This gives me a very objective, outside
perspective.

3.  You want someone who is approachable, concerned and interested in your ideas and opinions and can communicate these
ideas and opinions to the board.

4.  I am a "regular guy/gal".  I have an insatiable desire to learn about technology and the internet and contribute to the world in
a positive way.  "The more I know, the more I need to know".  I view the puzzle from an aerial view whenever possible and
have not confined myself to one specialty.  I have a small technology business I founded and believe I am like many of you.   I
am a creative, problem solving leader who is not afraid to express contrary opinion nor afraid to support my opinion with
unique approaches.  I have 17 years of business management experience and have successfully worked with CEOs, Presidents
of companies, IT staff, entry level sales people, administrators, through sole proprietors, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, and
virtually every type of organization. I worked as an executive for an international, household name corporation and through this
experience visited countries all over the world and worked under the philosophies and leadership of various cultures.  I have
learned that everyone contributes worthwhile ideas and ideas are not exclusive officers of an organization. The key is to
communicate the ideas effectively and I consider that skill to be what separates me.

5. I strongly believe that the board of ICANN board must be balanced and well represented by "every day internet users".   The future of the internet, the expansion of TLDs, freedom of information, and fair and equal treatment for all those using the internet and those who have desire to register a TLD, must not be jeopardized.   ICANN should have a transparent role.  My desire to join the board comes from my interest in insuring that no major corporations' interests bully the small guy.   

6. I need your support because without it, I will not be considered.

Thank you.  Endorsing me means endorsing the ideas I presented above.

It's easy and fast to endorse a candidate one of two ways:
