I am pleased to attach a draft proposal that we believe is feasible and prudent approach. Goran and I hope that you will share the draft with your community groups as we are eager to hear the community’s views and feedback on what we have described in the paper. Goran will also touch on the various elements outlined in the draft approach during the third ICANN68 plenary session scheduled for 25 June, on Advancing Policy Work in the Current Environment. The Community can provide some initial comments at that session and we will follow up with further conversations during our next Planning Meeting for ICANN69. I will be sending you a separate email about the third ICANN68 plenary session scheduled for 25 June, on Advancing Policy Work in the Current Environment. We hope to hear your and your communities' views after you have had a chance to discuss the draft. We will be happy to organize a call after ICANN68 for this purpose. Thank you again for your time and participation on these calls and Roundtables, both physical and virtual. Best regards, David David A. Olive Senior Vice President Policy Development Support Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Washington, D.C.
