<div>See thread below. The letter regarding Red Cross / IGO issues has been sent to the Board, and will appear on the GNSO Correspondence page shortly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks to all who contributed on this letter. I also note that we originally committed to sending this on Friday, but due to some miscommunication heading in to the long weekend, it was posted Tuesday instead. I apologize for any inconvenience or
confusion this may have caused you, or your Stakeholders.</div>

<div>Thank you,</div>
