<div dir="auto">Hello all,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">This draft ballot had been on hold while we discussed other concepts related to Subscriber and Subscriber Agreement. We decided to pause those additional changes and focus on the original intent of the ballot, which is to consolidate Subscriber
Agreement and Terms of Use.<span></span></div>
