Re: [atrt2] Request for clarification!: Message from Brian Cute - ATRT2 Chair
The question is: does your AC or SO have any facts to offer that show the need for a Recommendation regarding ICANN's management of it finances. Please pass this on to the SSAC chair and the other Chairs. Let the other Chairs know that we received a question for clarification and this is the response. Thank you!
