<div name="messageBodySection">Thank you, Nathalie.<br>
<br>
Council Colleagues, a few semi-random thoughts on the items below:<br>
<br>
#6. We have a small team working on the GNSO Response to the GAC's Johannesburg communique. Expect final draft language this week, with approval via email ballot to follow. The goal is to provide our response to the Board in advance of their meeting with the
GAC in mid-August.<br>
<br>
#7. CCWG-IG - Please note that this item was <b><u>deferred</u></b>, rather than withdrawn. This means that it will appear on our next meeting's ballot for a vote. I know that some folks wanted to submit amendments, and I urge that these be posted to the Council
list by the next document deadline (14 AUG), or the motion will head to a vote un-amended.<br>
<br>
#8. This discussion item has been rescheduled for two subsequent meetings, so I'm hopeful that we will give it full consideration during our next meeting. I recommend we move it to the top of our non-voting agenda.<br>
<br>
#9. Because this item is related to other ongoing activities, including follow-up from the GeoNames sessions in Johannesburg and the formation of SubPro Work Track 5, a motion for a vote may or may not appear on our August agenda. Stay tuned for further developments.<br>
