<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following conversations with Manal and Jonathan, we&#8217;ll keep the next CG meeting in the calendar for&nbsp;<u>Tuesday 27 January at 14.00 UTC</u>&nbsp;for now. However, in order to determine whether there is a need for this call, you are encouraged to submit any comments,
 questions and/or edits you may have on the attached document to the mailing list by&nbsp;<u>Monday 26 January at 17.00 UTC</u>&nbsp;at the latest. If no input is received, there may not be a need for the meeting as the document would be considered ready for circulation
 to the GAC and GNSO as is. Further preparations for Singapore could then continue via the mailing list.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We intend to send a notice to the list shortly after 17.00 UTC on Monday to confirm whether or not we&#8217;ll go ahead with the meeting.</div>
