<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear Members of the Board Finance Committee, Dear CCWG-Accountability Chairs,</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">On behalf of the GNSO Council, I would like to request a webinar to brief the GNSO Council and the broader GNSO Community on the Proposed Cost Control Mechanisms, as well as the request for validation of the CCWG-Accountability
Budget.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

We appreciate the information provided by email and presented by Xavier during the GNSO meetings in Helsinki, but the GNSO Council would appreciate a clear overview of what, specifically, is being requested from the GNSO as a chartering organization, along
the the expected timeframe for approval. As the next GNSO Council meeting is scheduled for 21 July, this webinar would ideally take place well before that meeting in order to provide GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies sufficient opportunity to review
this information, and provide instructions to their representatives at the Council meeting. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;">
Otherwise, because there is no Council in meeting scheduled for August, this topic will be taken up by the GNSO Council during its next meeting in September.<o:p></o:p></p>
