Hi all,

This is a reminder that the GNSO Council will soon be expected to engage on the topic of the IRP Standing Panel, and on re-populating the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IoT).

This is a very important issue that is gaining the attention of the ICANN Board as a relatively urgent topic. We should expect this to be a topic of discussion in Marrakech, so please engage with your respective SG/Cs to ensure you’re informed and ready to bring your groups views to the Council discussion.

Note some questions that were posed at the following link:

If anyone needs further context, please refer to the briefing presented by Sam Eisner, David McAuley and Chris Disspain during our May regular Council call.

Thanks,

Keith
