Dear Council Members; I previously advised you about staff efforts to develop a set of introductory material ³modules² designed to serve as a standing resource for councilors and community members on a variety of introductory "basic" GNSO topics. I am pleased to report that we have completed the first set of materials and are readying to post them on the updated "Basics" page of GNSO.icann.org. Rather than fill your mailbox with all six modules at once, I have posted them to the GNSO Council Resources wiki page at - https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocounres/General . The redesigned GNSO Basics page - http://newgnso.icann.org/en/basics/getting-started should be up on the GNSO web site within a few days. We hope it will be a helpful resource. Please feel free to access the new materials from the wiki attachment links and offer any comments in the space. Staff is particularly interested in hearing about any new/additional topics that you think should get the "basic" treatment. Best regards, Rob
