Hi Ariel, I think it would be useful to add some additional context to this scoping exercise. To that end, we should include the following documents; the April 29th letter<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-April/022656.html> from RySG to GNSO Council, and the response letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/marby-to-austin-24may19...> from ICANN to the RySG. These describe the key issues that need to be addressed.
