Dear Councillor, This is another request that went to the Triage group. As only two persons currently are serving on that group and one of them was on holiday, only one has agreed to the recommendation. Unless anyone objects by Thursday, 18 July, we will move forward with the recommendation (Re-establish Drafting Team that commented on previous Geographic Regions Report, let the team draft input on ICANN Geographic Regions Working Group Report). Gabi == Topic: Request for Input to ICANN Geographic Regions Working Group Report Originator: ICANN Geographic Regions Working Group Summary of request: The Report contains recommendations to the ICANN Board about the application and future use of the ICANN Geographic Regions framework.
