<div><span></span>Hi, Grace,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the updates. They are very helpful. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing that always puzzles me is how how to understand the methods of quantifying the tasks. For instance, the diagram indicates that 35% is left in transition, did you calculate this by the remaining days or other indicators? </div><div><br></div><div>I also remember that at first it was anticipated to have 30 "legislative days" (by congress) to review the proposal. But they seemed to be gone. So, NTIA has completed the review, and it's done. All the left is basically the implementation plan that will be prepared by ICANN staff. Is this understanding correct? </div><div> </div>
