Dear Council colleagues, The correspondence below from Karen and Brian follows from our discussions (led by Marika Konings and Brian Aitchison) in the last (February) Council meeting about the current status of the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework. Unless anyone objects, I suggest that we add this to the April agenda, as this gives SGs and Cs more time to read than simply last minute on the plane, and it gives Brian and team more time to prepare. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Marika Konings" <marika.konings@icann.org> Date: 01/03/2018 9:50 AM Subject: FW: Review/Approval Requested: Amendments to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) To: "Heather Forrest" <haforrestesq@gmail.com> Cc: "Brian Aitchison" <brian.aitchison@icann.org>, "Karen Lentz" < karen.lentz@icann.org> Dear Heather, Please find attached for your attention a letter from Karen Lentz, Director, ICANN Operations and Policy Research and Brian Aitchison, Lead Researcher, ICANN Operations and Policy Research concerning proposed amendments to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF).
