Thank you, Kathy, and congratulations on the new position with PIR.    
You are gonna rock for them - just like you have for NCUC!!!   We've  
been very lucky to have your energy and contributions over the  
years.   I look forward to continuing to work closely with you in  
your new capacity with PIR.   I think it is a terrific development  
for Internet policy.

Best,
Robin
