Brant, thanks for your message.

As I mentioned earlier, I've known Jeremy and Ricken for a very long time,
and I have no doubt about Avaaz's sincerity with regards to this matter.

I spoke with both Jeremy and Ricken earlier today and specifically conveyed
the list's concerns to Ricken, who is still involved with Avaaz.

Ricken told me to thank all of you for your input.  He also said that Avaaz
has been working with a security organization throughout the whole ordeal
to address the issue.

His openness to discuss the topic convinced me that, if Avaaz is able to
disclose additional info after sorting out this mess, they will do so.

Best,

Yosem
