<span style="font-size: 11px;">Dear ARIN community,</span>
<div style="font-size: 11px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">First, let me state my appreciation and gratitude to Ray Plzak who has served the last 6 years on the ICANN Board as a representative from the ARIN region, selected by the NRO/ASO. Ray has had a huge impact to the addressing community
over his career and his passion and commitment to this industry is commendable and renowned. Thank you Ray!</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">Now, I’ve accepted a nomination to the ICANN Board to fill the void left by Ray. And, as a current representative of our ARIN region serving on the ASO, I would ask for your support by way of comments via the NRO website.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">The comment period ends at the end of March. So your participation and supporting commentary would be appreciated. Also note, there are a couple others from our region on the slate of candidates. I’m sure they would likewise
appreciate your consideration and support.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">Thanks in advance and a Happy New Year to each of you!</div>
