Re: [ICANN-EU] the future of icann-europe: opposition?

Dear Marc, dear Thomas:

Not blowing ICANNs horn here, but I doubt that their crystal ball
was any clearer than others. I.e., they did not know what to expect
either. I am sure they are wondering what kind of new board
members they will get.

The letter Marc suggested is a good idea. Maybe we can get them to
look at "their" nominees in terms of reserve candidates.
If you want my input, Marc, please let me have your draft.

Best regards and a sunny day everybody,

Andreas Fügner
