Dear RDS-WHOIS2 Members,

As indicated at the conclusion of the third face-to-face meeting (F2F) last week, we are looking into scheduling the F2F meeting #4 in November/early December 2018, per the work plan in place, to digest public comment received on the draft report and finalize the report for Board consideration.

The RDS-WHOIS2 leaders have indicated that F2F meeting #4 should be a three-day meeting and now seek your input on whether you have any conflicts in November/December to inform next steps. For planning purposes, please send us your input (preferably off-list) by Tuesday, 7 August – 23:59 UTC.

Note: the following events may potentially impact participation from some of you:

2018	Nov	4	RootOps @ IETF 103	0946 - Network Eng & Sec	Bangkok, THAILAND
2018	Nov	12-14	IGF 2018	0410 - Govt & IGO Engagement	Paris, FRANCE
2018	Nov	28-29	Eastern Europe DNS Forum 2018	0334 - GSE Russia CIS	Moscow, RUSSIA

Attached to this email, you will also find a copy of the work plan, for your information, which was recently updated and approved by leadership to reflect recent developments.

We look forward to reading your feedback.
