Dear Small Team members,

As you will have seen, we are bringing the band back together early next week. As responses have now been received from all groups in relation to the questions on bulk registrations and the contractual negotiations, Council leadership has indicated that it might be helpful for the small team to take a first stab at reviewing the responses and then sharing the findings with the GNSO Council for further consideration. Mark has kindly taken a first stab at developing a preliminary evaluation of the responses (see attached) to facilitate the discussion (note that due to an oversight the DNSAI response has not been included yet). Of course, you are all expected to do your own homework as well and review the full responses which can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/aQKjDQ - under the heading documents.

The proposed agenda for Monday’s meeting is as follows:

1. Welcome
2. Reactions to responses received:
   1. ICANN Compliance
   2. RySG
   3. RrSG
   4. DNS Abuse Institute
3. Preliminary conclusions
4. Confirm next steps

We look forward to speaking to you on Monday.   

Best regards,

Steve & Marika
