even remotely.

As such, I would like to take this opportunity to make a brief statement for the consideration of

the membership regarding my candidacy…

As most of you know, I have been a fan of MICE virtually since its inception. I think that the

leadership to date has done an excellent job keeping MICE as an open volunteer-run community

exchange and I would appreciate the opportunity to continue in that tradition.

I believe that my long history serving the community as a member of the ARIN Advisory Council

and my record as an active participant on various community-oriented lists for many years

shows my commitment to the community and my desire to serve. I believe that in terms of

skills and abilities I have the necessary understanding of the community and the

environment and structure of exchange points and peering, not only in terms of the people

and networks involved, but also the fiscal realities and the efforts involved in keeping

this a vibrant and effective effort on behalf of the community.

I appreciate your consideration and your confidence. If you have any questions, please feel

free to email me at any time.
