Seth and all,

  I wish I could joint you in your enthusiasm.  But unfortunately
I cannot.  Yet it is mildly good to see Susan move on and into
a better position that can have a significant impact.  ICANN
is still after 10 years part of which Susan served, is a mess
and getting worse.  So her impact while at ICANN was relatively
not apparent in a positive direction.
