This document provides an overview of the achievements to date as well as reviews the outstanding items in conjunction with proposed recommendations to close these items out taking into account the input received in response to the survey. The objective is to deliver this final status update to the GNSO and GAC ahead of ICANN57 to allow for review and discussion and possibly adoption of the recommendations and closure of the CG during ICANN57. As such you are encouraged to review this document and share any comments / edits you may have on the mailing list. In parallel we’ll go ahead and circulate a doodle poll with the aim to schedule a CG meeting in the week of 26 September to review and discussion any input received. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Marika<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Marika Konings</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Cambria'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Senior Policy Director & Team Leader for the GNSO, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Cambria'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Email: <a href="mailto:marika.konings@icann.org"><span style='color:#0563C1'>marika.konings@icann.org</span></a> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Cambria'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Cambria'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Follow the GNSO via Twitter @ICANN_GNSO<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Find out more about the GNSO by taking our <a href="http://learn.icann.org/courses/gnso"><span style='color:#0563C1'>interactive courses</span></a> and visiting the <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-efforts.htm#newcomers"><span style='color:#0563C1'>GNSO Newcomer pages</span></a>.</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Cambria'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
