Hello Heather and everyone, I apologize for not being as clear as I should have been. As I understand it, the agenda for the next Council meeting will include Council approval of this Report as one of the items, possibly as part of the consent agenda. However, as the agenda has not yet been finalized, I thought it might be better to note this as an expectation rather than as a “done deal”.

Is some affirmative step needed to put this item on the February Council agenda? It's the phrase "it is anticipated" that I'm not clear on, and given the deadline for 18 February agenda items, I'd be grateful to hear back from you as soon as possible. Many thanks and best wishes, Heather ________________________________ From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org> <owner-council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org<mailto:mary.wong@icann.org>> Sent: Tuesday, February 9, 2016 4:54 To: council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] For your review: Recommendations Report to the ICANN Board on Privacy/Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Dear Councilors, Please find attached for your review a Recommendations Report from the GNSO Council to the ICANN Board concerning the recently-adopted PDP recommendations on privacy and proxy services accreditation issues.
