You saw that I ended up on stage with Adiel on a last minute change. It was still planned that we would return to our seats to sit with our communities after our PDP descriptions. When given the chance to leave the stage, we ended up staying, but with no intent to lead the discussion afterwards. However, we were careful to not respond to input; it was important at this point to receive as much input as possible from the community in the short amount of time, and we did not want our opinions be misunderstood as coming from our communities.</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">See you around!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">--MM<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></a></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in; position: static; z-index: auto;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Louis Lee [<a href="mailto:louienet@gmail.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">mailto:louienet@gmail.com</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Louie Lee<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Sunday, March 23, 2014 11:10 AM<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Milton L Mueller<br><b>Cc:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:arin-ppml@arin.net" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">arin-ppml@arin.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [arin-ppml] ARIN and the Evolution of the IANA Functions<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dear Milton,<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I do have just a few things to add.

The session flow had not been finalized. Instead, Adiel and myself, along with other numbering community folks, will mostly sit with the rest of the ICANN community to listen to all the contributions that you and all others have on how such an IANA accountability transition might take place. Each of us will also contribute only in our own capacities because substantial dialog in the communities have yet to take place.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I believe that I was also premature in saying that Fadi will offer a draft.... The development of the proposal must be led by the community completely. ICANN staff's role is to gather the input and facilitate dialog by documenting the input and summarizing it when appropriate.
