[Media Caucus] Nominations to date for the UN Working group on internet governance

[E. Markham Bench]

Dear Tracey,

Very nicely handled.  You have a way about you!  All I wish is that you could 
participate, and that something as minor and pesky as lack of adequate finance 
didn't prevent your more intimate involvement.

Sincerely,

Mark
