class=828431319-11052005>Ahead of tomorrow's GNSO Council conference call, I am
sending you two items: a table outlining the recommendations made by the
GNSO Council independent review and the Council's self-review. This
summarises the two sets of recommendations, batching them according to subject,
and also includes staff responses and suggestions. It is a work in
progress and may be useful for Council members to organise the work items
arising. </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
