On behalf of my fellow directors and members of Akamai's management team, I'd like to express our appreciation for Fred's nearly two decades of service on the Akamai Board. His leadership, integrity, and steady hand have contributed greatly to Akamai's growth, and we thank him for his many contributions. I appreciate everyone joining us for what remains a very challenging time for many across the world and hope you have been able to stay safe and well. I now call this meeting to order.
