Thank you, Karen. I was just going to share that correspondence, too. In light of the letter, and the fact that there is a Council call on Thursday (18 Sept) at 05:00 UTC as well as a Next Round Board Caucus call in the afternoon (European time), I propose, we shift tomorrow’s IRT call to a later slot at 17:00 UTC. I apologize for the late notice, but I think it will be beneficial to our discussion and find a path forward. Therefore, we will change the agenda, and NOT discuss the engagement and outreach progress this Thursday; that call will shift to 30 September. For Thursday’s call (18 September, new time: 17 UTC) here is the proposed agenda: 1. Welcome 2. Reserved Names & String Sim 3. Terms and Conditions 4. Base RA Update 5. Upcoming Meetings Again, I apologize for the late notice in the change of time and agenda but I hope you agree that we should try and resolve these outstanding issues as soon as practicable. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. Best.
