<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">As many of you may know, yesterday we published public comments for short-term and long-term options to potentially adjust the timeline of ICANN Reviews.
This is in response to issues raised by the community about the number of concurrent reviews and the strain that this has placed on volunteer and ICANN org resources. We’re hoping to share some additional opportunities for engagement and discussion on this
important topic. I was wondering if you could help us to promote these resources with your respective communities? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
