<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As noted on the call earlier today, an updated draft operating standards for specific review has been published for public comment (see below). As you may recall, the GNSO Council provided input on the original version (see
<a href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-reviews-standards-17oct17/2018q1/000006.html" target="_blank">
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-reviews-standards-17oct17/2018q1/000006.html</a><span style="color:black">). A small drafting team may want to review how the Council’s input was addressed and/or any other items that may need to be considered. Rafik
has already volunteered to participate – are there any other Council members interested to assist in this regard? As the deadline for comments is 11 February, ideally a draft is shared in time for consideration during the GNSO Council meeting on 24 January.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
