May I join to congratulate Kathy on her new post. Working with her on trademark issues and on the STI has been a real pleasure and her contribution to NCUC has been substantial.
All the best wishes for your new post.

I have two things to say:
- PIR and the .org community will be enormously enriched with your
participation through such a key position.
- You are always absolutely welcome to join our meetings.
Abraço fraterno and all the best!
