Colleagues

Further to last night’s call, I have outlined below the progress with respect to the GNSO Review.

1. RFP has elicited three comprehensive and thoughtful proposals from well regarded bidders (and one half one which, for the purposes of choosing the evaluator, has been discounted). 
2. Follow up conversations taking place with each of the bidders to confirm understanding of proposals.  Should be completed this week.
3. Aiming to appoint independent evaluator by mid next week with view to keeping project schedule on track.
4. Have received some information from constituencies in response to Constituency Questions.  Have sent reminders to those constituencies that haven’t met deadline for responses.  Information already supplied is very helpful.
5. Any further questions, let me know.

Kind regards.

Liz
