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.
