Here's what I just mentioned on the call and in the Chat. Would be helpful for John and Zahid to ask Christine/staff for a progress report on their work on this
See ICANN's Christine Willett video interview here<http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/kits/video-willett-new-gtld-17sep13-en.h…>.
At 1:50 Christine discusses string confusion evaluations. She admits there are concerns over experts' decisions and said, "There isn't an appeal process, but Staff is working diligently with dispute resolution service providers to ensure that all procedures have been followed and to look at the expert determinations — we’re looking at these consistency issues."

Dear BC Members,
Please note that this is an election announcement regarding the GNSO
Councilor Election currently open in the BC. Please note that this election
has been temporarily suspended, so please do not submit any nominations for
now.
Due to the sudden vacancy in the Nominating Committee Small Business Seat,
the GNSO Councilor Election has been suspended to allow one election for
both the GNSO Councilor position and NomCom seat, rather than running two
separate elections for these positions.
The election will reopen shortly, and I will submit a new election procedure
for the new election.
Thank you ever so much for your understanding,
Kind Regards,
Benedetta Rossi
