<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">Do you have a sense of when the SO/AC Leaders will convene to finalize the slate of RDS Review Team members?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">Recognizing that the GNSO did not appoint any Registries or Registrars -- actual operators of RDS -- to the RDS Review Team (in the GNSO’s three ‘guaranteed’ slots), it’s
very important we ensure there is actual operational experience in that group.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">With the ccNSO electing to sit this one out (the only other possible operators of RDS), the rest of the SO/AC Leaders should be convinced that having one registry rep and
one registrar rep on the RT would not only be beneficial, but a necessity for an informed and balanced review team.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
