Very late stage seems to imply that it should have reached the Board earlier but it didn't, while at the end stage reflects the reality of the current PDP (the Board only gets involved at the end stage of the process).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Marika</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Manal Ismail <<a href="mailto:manal@tra.gov.eg">manal@tra.gov.eg</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Wednesday 29 January 2014 11:14<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Mike O'Connor <<a href="mailto:mike@haven2.com">mike@haven2.com</a>>, "<a href="mailto:GAC-GNSO-CG@icann.org">GAC-GNSO-CG@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:GAC-GNSO-CG@icann.org">GAC-GNSO-CG@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Gac-gnso-cg] version 7 of the charter - reflecting the last editson today's call<br></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style>
