Thanks Kurt. I was glad to participate. So much good stuff in this report. Even if we just get “ In addition, formalized training by a qualified entity should be considered in order to have a panel of qualified, independent chairs available” going forward, I think the effort was well worth it. I expect that most all of the recommendations will be embraced. Thank you for your hard work and that of the team!

Best,

Paul

Subject: Board Readiness discussion - your interview

Dear Paul:

I am writing to let you know that the report resulting from the GNSO Board Readiness Study has been published and a discussion of it is scheduled for the upcoming GNSO Council meeting on 18 Sept. 

Thank you again for agreeing to be interviewed and for your thoughtful participation in the effort. Your contribution substantially contributed to the Recommendations made by our team. I and the attending Board Readiness Team members enjoyed the conversation. I hope you thought it a worthwhile endeavour.

Thanks again and best regards,

Kurt
