Hi John

Did you know that up until now, a group of only about 1600 people have decided on the fundamental workings of the internet that 2.5 billion of us use?

I wanted to let you know about some very exciting news:  yesterday ICANN, (the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) one of the organizations that governs how the internet works, announced signing with Lucid Meetings' parent company, Second Rise LLC.  We are launching myICANN.org which will fundamentally change the way ICANN works, allowing much deeper and broader community engagement and participation.

Would you be interested in setting up an interview with John Keith, CEO of Second Rise LLC to learn more about this partnership and the new features that myICANN.org will offer?   If you'd like to schedule an interview, you can contact one of the company co-founders, Chris Gift, directly at chris@lucidmeetings.com or at +1.949.244.5033 and he'll get you set up.

I've put together a social media news release with a full press release, company backgrounders, and images from the new portal. Here is the site:

http://lucidmeetings.net

If you wish, you can now go to myICANN.org and become part of the important process of governing the internet.

Let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of any help.

Thank you so much and have a great day,

Julie Ann
