[bc-gnso] Words of appreciation to Mikey for his support and participation and leadership in the BC and on behalf of the BC

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mikey
It is with regret that I read your resignation letter to the BC. You have been 
a wonderful colleague and contributor to the BC, and to ICANN gTLD policy and 
to other parts of ICANN's work. 
I know many of our members will join me and other colleagues in thanking you 
for your long membership in the BC; your work on so many many policy topics, 
and issues, and  for your past friendship and collegiality. 
On behalf of the BC, I will accept your notice of resignation from the BC.  The 
BC-Secretariat has honored your request to be removed from the BC lists. 
:-)With apologies if some of us from time to time accidentally use a personal 
string that includes you, but it is only because your involvement in the BC's 
policy work was so deep. 
And so much appreciated.  I know we missed you at the BC huddle on Sat and Sun 
night. 
All the best in your new constituency. Our ISP colleagues are longstanding 
friends and another place for involvement and contribution.  So, we count on 
seeing you in the CSG. 
Best wishes
Marilyn Cade
