Re: [gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: [council] FW: IOC/RC Drafting Team Status Report


Not sure I understand Mary.

This IS a formal GNSO process. And should the DT come up with recommendations 
that the Council approves, I would certainly like to see them put out for 
public comment.

>> Please feel free to forward this report to the other members of the GAC as I
