<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am writing on behalf of Tom Barrett and Cheryl Langdon-Orr, the chair and co-chair of the NomCom Review Working Party (RWP). As part of the review, the RWP would like to make sure that the GNSO Council
is aware of the progress of the NomCom review: the <a href="https://community.icann.org/x/USJyB" target="_blank">
assessment report</a> has been published (also attached); a translation of the report’s executive summary will be made available in the coming days on the
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/USJyB" target="_blank">review wiki page</a>.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
