Re: [council] Updated Agenda for the GNSO Council Meeting 7 June 2012 at 20:00 UTC

[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxx>]

Sorry Stephane,  as you say lots of folks are maxed out with multiple 
simultaneous processes/lists that keep us strapped to the desk for ungodly 
hours, and sometimes in that context little things slip.  We were on a call 
last night and realized nobody could remember the final letter or  find in 
their mail, so I said I'd ask.  But we should have gone dug through the list 
archive instead of just asking.  Even pros make mistakes…:-(

Let me double check if people want to discuss or leave it on the consent.

Thanks
