That would be the intent Tom. It should be easy to distribute a redline version after our working session Sunday morning. It is possible though that we may make final edits during our live meeting on Wednesday either as a result of our joint meeting with the ccNSO on Monday or public input and Council discussion in that meeting. Hopefully, any last minute changes in the meeting will be viewable on the GNSO Council Workspace online.
