<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The mailing list software (Majordomo) used for running the GNSO Council mailing list is at the end of its life. For security reasons ICANN IT, will be migrating the list to a new platform (Mailman) on which all of the GNSO
mailing lists will now be hosted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The list migration will take place on <b>Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 01:00 am UTC.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You should see only cosmetic differences between the old and the new platform. The email address will remain the same. However, the web archive will be at a new URL:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
