Councilors - See thread below. The letter regarding Red Cross / IGO issues has been sent to the Board, and will appear on the GNSO Correspondence page shortly. Many thanks to all who contributed on this letter. I also note that we originally committed to sending this on Friday, but due to some miscommunication heading in to the long weekend, it was posted Tuesday instead. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused you, or your Stakeholders. Thank you, J.
