There are only two revisions to this document based upon what you have previously reviewed: 1) Removal of the 'draft' watermark; and 2) Removal of the bullet point on reserve fund replenishment. The Contracted Parties House expressed concerns <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-March/020998.html> on this mailing list regarding this topic, and these concerns were taken back to the SCBO where no objections were raised to removing this bullet point. The SCBO very much appreciates the Council's input and advice over the past few weeks as we have collaboratively generated this comment. Thank you very much for this. Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline P.S. Apologies for sending this from a different email address than usual; I hope it still reaches your inbox.
