Thanks very much, Sam. As a reminder to all, there will be plenty of time to provide your input on specific items within the charter, so there is no need to rush on that. For the moment, the main question is whether there are any objections to conducting such a review. Additional details about the review process will follow if there is agreement to proceed.

The charter has not been reviewed and revised since 2018, and it may be time to look at whether some updates are needed. If the SSC agrees that review and revision are appropriate, we can request a charter review of the GNSO Council (next steps outlined below). To get the conversation started, the leadership team has made a few notes in the current version of the charter here [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1KxpNrhmHhygx5...>, commenting on items that the SSC may want to review and potentially propose revising. If the SSC agrees that these and potentially other items should be considered further, we can take the following steps: 1. SSC leadership notifies Council leadership that it would like to initiate a charter review 2. After confirming with Council that there are no concerns, Council leadership responds that the SSC can proceed 3. SSC reviews the charter and proposes revisions, then submits the updated charter to Council 4. Council votes to approve the updated charter If there are any objections to going forward with a charter review, please respond on the list by Friday 4 March. Absent any objections, the leadership team will reach out to Council leadership to start the process.
