Dear Chris Chiu and all, I am truly regretful for this sad news as well. We, all non-commercial members here, know him and what he has done for non-commercial activities in ICANN. His contribution and committed actions for public interest was very tremendous. Particularly his provision of up-to-date information for our current concerns has always been helpful. I believe that he could continue to keep his concern for public interest even as an observer. Again, I want to express my thanks for his long and coherent contribution. regards, Chun On Thu, 3 Jun 2004, Milton Mueller wrote: > It is with regret that I report that Chris Chiu has informed me of > his decision to resign from the Executive Committee.
