<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Councilors,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Staff is pleased to inform you that the IGO-INGO Curative Rights PDP Working Group, co-chaired by Phil Corwin and Petter Rindforth, published its Initial Report for public comment on Friday 20 January:
<a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-2017-01-20-en">
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-2017-01-20-en</a>. The public comment period closes on
<b>1 March 2017</b>, and the Working Group is planning on holding an open community session to discuss its preliminary recommendations during ICANN58.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition, as noted during the last GNSO Council meeting, Phil and Petter will be conducting a webinar in early February to present the preliminary recommendations to the community. We are also consulting
with Carlos (GNSO liaison to the GAC) and GAC support staff to find out if, and what sort of, separate session should be conducted for the GAC. We will be sure to provide that information to you when confirmation details are available.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Following its review of all public comments and community feedback received, the Working Group will prepare its Final Report with its final recommendations for submission to the Council for your review and
action. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
