As I mentioned in my previous email, I think it is very important for the GNSO Council (in addition to Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies) to consider whether you have budget recommendations or priorities to submit. Examples of requests to consider might be: 1) to assure that funding for Whois studies is available next year 2) for any incremental policy-development-related expenses, such as costs to retain an independent expert or for a face-to-face meeting of a working group, etc... <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Staff is happy to assist in preparing the request forms for any recommendations the Council may have.
