Brian, We are in the contracting phase and expect to start the work shortly. We will arrange for a call as soon as possible after the LA meeting as a face-to-face meeting in LA will not be feasible from a timing and logistics perspective.

Gurnick Cc: atrt2@icann.org Subject: Metrics consultant Larisa, Can you remind me when the consultant is expected to be engaged? If it is possible to have an exchange during the Los Angeles face-to-face meeting that would of course be useful. If not, a call between the ATRT2 and the consultant should be arranged at the earliest opportunity. Thank you. Regards, Brian
