Re: [council] For your review - proposed transmittal letter GNSO Review WP Analysis
Thanks, Amr for your response. My understanding is that the staff supporting the OEC will also be providing a summary of the feedback received during the webinar as one of the public inputs that has been received throughout this process so the question is whether you and other Council members are of the view that it would also be worth including these as part of the transmittal letter. Do note that the letter already refers to the webinar and includes a link to the recording - maybe that is sufficient as in that way, there is no need to confirm the comments that have been attributed to different people, as the OEC can review the recording instead (note, I have seen that the transcript is now also available so we could include that link as well)?
