I am writing to provide my strongest possible endorsement for James Love of 
the Consumer Project on Technology, whom I have known for the last five 
years.  Mr. Love's work has had a profound impact on my own efforts to make 
tuberculosis treatment accessible to all in the developing world.  Through 
his extraordinarily effective use of the Internet, he has made great 
contributions to the efforts of many international non-governmental 
organizations focused on increasing access to essential medicines.  He has 
revealed to many of us the potential of technologies such as the Internet to 
benefit a broader public in poor countries as
well as rich ones.  In all his work, he has truly demonstrated a visionary 
appreciation of cyberspace and its potential social benefits.  As a member of 
the ICANN
board he would be a unique resource to the global Internet community, 
representing the non-commercial sector as a whole and millions of individual 
users. The Domain Name System must have thoughtful and knowledgeable voices 
like that of Mr. Love if ICANN is to fulfill its charter's vision of "an 
international network of networks, owned by no single nation, individual or 
organization."  Without him, I would go so far as to say, that vision would 
be endangered.
