I have two comments:</div><div><br></div><div>1. It only occurred to me when reading these that some communication with GDD staff may be necessary when planning the Buenos Aires meeting. It’d be helpful to avoid the same conflict in scheduling of IRT meetings with GNSO Council meetings. In Singapore, there was a conflict between the “thick” whois IRT meeting and the GNSO Wrap Up Session.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Under Item 11 regarding the SCI, didn’t we also agree to pick up the conversation on projects to be referred to the SCI on-list?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again.</div><div><br></div><div>Amr</div><br><div><div>On Mar 24, 2015, at 10:20 AM, Glen de Saint Géry <<a href="mailto:Glen@icann.org">Glen@icann.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="FR-BE" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Dear Councillors,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="FR" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Please find the action items arising from the Council meeting on 19 March 2015.
