Thank you Stephane (and, yes, staff also). Unfortunately this is 4am New Zealand time, so I will be unable to make this meeting. I will either appoint a Temporary Alternate or give my proxy to another.

The meeting is currently planned at 15 UTC on Monday. We are scheduling an hour for the meeting, although it may not run that long. I want to give special thanks to our GNSO support staff, who traditionally take a very well-deserved week off after an ICANN meeting and are having to put in extra work to plan for this meeting this time. We have nearly finalized the agenda. It will be posted and sent to the list by email very soon. Thanks, Stéphane Van Gelder Directeur Général / General manager INDOM Group NBT France ---------------- Head of Domain Operations Group NBT
