I don't have much time to participate actively these days, but I've been
very impressed with the energy and care Amr has brought to this group.  I
did see him in action in person at the ICANN meeting in San Francisco
(actually, at the NCUC/NARALO Town Hall event, which I helped put
together) and he engaged very thoughtfully from the very beginning.

I'm happy with the whole field, but especially would like to encourage
Amr's involvement.  He's already one of our more important members.
