<p class="MsoNormal">I have reviewed the ccNSO’s 6 July Letter and ICANN Org’s 7 August Response. I believe that the subject of exploring solutions for engagement that can be used in exceptional circumstances impacting the process of adoption of the fiscal
year plans is a good topic for the GNSO-ccNSO session at ICANN69. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.<o:p></o:p></p>
