The Small Team agreed with the Board's assumptions, barring a few perceived textual imprecisions. The Small Team held a call with Becky Burr on Tuesday, 14 December, during which they discussed and clarified the Board’s assumptions. The draft letter to the Board captures the contents of that discussion, where Becky indicated the Small Team’s clarifications and proposed edits were acceptable. Here is a link to the draft board response: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SrGStrtUe8ZLZ2wLoUGDPK-8SYeXBnlmokmhWCTZ.... Please review the draft response and provide any additional concerns or edits by Monday, 17 January. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin -- Caitlin Tubergen Policy Director – GNSO ICANN
