* The SOP is presently working on two things:
· Comments on the FY13 Framework. We had a conference call with a presentation of the Framework by Xavier Calvez on 19 January. Immediately after that we started working on the preparation of comments in our usual teams (finance, core ops, projects and new gTLDs). We have the comments of all teams in and are presently working on the consolidation. On 15 feb we will send the final comments to the community and on 20 February we will submit them to ICANN
· We are preparing for a strategic session between the SOP and ICANN staff- and board members that we be held on Sunday 11 March in San José. The purpose of that session is “to take the time for dialogue and conversation to provide input on ICANN’s high-level strategy”
