<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">I have reviewed the document for a final sanity check and made some very minor typographical edits for consistency in the attached. The only substantive edits are that we hadn't filled out columns
3 and 4 (does the advice concern GNSO remit and is it subject to existing work or recommendations) for a few items. I have inserted text here but would appreciate the drafting team casting eyes over, as it may well be that there was a reason for not responding
to these, and I missed that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</u></b>and raise any concerns or proposed edits <b><u>prior to Thursday's Council meeting.</u></b> Our response is only effective if it reaches the Board in a timely manner as the Board considers the relevant GAC advice. For this to occur, we need a Response
that we can agree on and approve in Thursday's meeting. If any SG/C has concerns, I ask that you please raise these on the list as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
