I have no objection to extending it further (until August 27th). The more feedback we get, the more helpful it will ultimately be. I suppose the results of the survey will also be helpful to the upcoming GAC/GNSO reverse liaison’s work going forward.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again.</div><div><br></div><div>Amr</div><br><div><div>On Aug 1, 2014, at 1:55 PM, Manal Ismail <<a href="mailto:manal@tra.gov.eg">manal@tra.gov.eg</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Dear Jonathan ..<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Dear All ..<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">As promised on our last conference call, Suzanne, Mark and myself brought to GAC colleagues attention, on yesterday’s GAC conference call, the survey to assess the GAC's familiarity with current GNSO mechanisms ..
