Dear fellow members of Work Track 3, Please draw your attention to the newly released, long awaited, reports (there are 3) on the review of the Community Priority Evaluation Process which were issued by ICANN late yesterday. We will need to take these into account in our deliberations on our initial report. The announcement can be found here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-12-13-en and the full reports are available here: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/cpe#process-review As we will not be meeting together again for some time due to the holidays, I would encourage you to start sharing your thoughts, questions and concerns on our email list as soon as you begin working your way through the reports while they are fresh in your mind. With best wishes of the seasons, Karen
