[Marilyn Cade]

Dear members

The following links provide recent correspondence from Peter Dengate Thrush, Board Chair to Heather Dryden, GAC Chairwhich the Chair has asked that I call to your attention.
The first link is the Board/staff response to the GAC on the scorecard and will be very important to members trying to trackthe status of discussions on the new gTLDs.The second link is a very recent letter from Board Chair to GAC Chair on the ATRT. Both are relevant to BC discussions during San Francisco meeting.

I will try to keep down the extraordinary postings, but since these are documents that I was asked about by a couple of members,am posting them for your convenience.  
Stay tuned for a later posting with updates on the schedules for next week. I am promised news from ICANN during the day on the schedulereorganizations. 
We will have an informal BC gathering on Friday evening with informal drinks for members there already, Saturday morning and evening if needed [brief gatherings on Saturday]. and a more formalized updated schedule to be announced as noted, later today.
