ICANN | ICANN Meetings in Rome | Vint Cerf and the others wishing Parry a happy birthday: 5 March 2004

ICANN | ICANN Meetings in Rome | ICANN Public Forum, Part 2, Real-Time Captioning | 5 March 2004: "THE SECOND ADMINISTRATIVE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE, THE PARTY THAT I WANTED TO MAKE IT ABOUT JUST WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM.
BUT WHEN SHE COMES BACK, LET'S SURPRISE HER, ASSUMING SHE DOES COME BACK SOON.
IT'S PARRY AFTAB'S BIRTHDAY TODAY.
AND SHE JUST RAN OFF TO GET A CUP OF COFFEE.
I KNOW THAT YOU WERE ALL EXPECTING A BREAK SOON.
I AM GOING TO CALL FOR ONE AFTER WE FINISH THESE OTHER SUPPORT ORGANIZATION REPORTS.
SO IF SOMEBODY HAPPENS TO CATCH PERRY COMING BACK IN, WAVE TO ME AND WE WILL TAKE A BRIEF PAUSE TO WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
MARK, I'D LIKE TO CALL ON YOU TO OFFER THE ASO REPORT.
>>MARK MCFADDEN: WELL, I'D LIKE TO RESPOND.
>>VINT CERF: SORRY.
THERE SHE IS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PERRY.
(APPLAUSE.)
>>VINT CERF: WE'RE NOT GOING TO SING TO YOU.
>> PERRY: HOPEFULLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ASK HOW OLD I AM, EITHER.
BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT ALEJANDRO SAYS ABOUT HOW I LOOK ON TELEVISION.
(LAUGHTER.)
>>VINT CERF: I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF HE SAYS ANYTHING.
PRIVATELY.
>> PERRY: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>>VINT CERF: IF IT'S GOOD, I'LL BE GLAD TO MAKE IT A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> PERRY: OKAY. AND IF IT'S NOT, SPARE ME.
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
>>VINT CERF: YOU'RE WELCOME.
ANOTHER YEAR."
