[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Re: GNSO Council Confirmation of Co-Chairs

[Julie Hedlund]

Dear Chris,

I apologize if I wasn't clear below, but the update is provided by a member
of the GNSO Council ‹ in this case the PDP WG's liaison to the Council, who
is Ching Chao.  That is one of the purposes of having a liaison.  Of course,
generally what this means is that the Co-Chairs provide the update to the
Liaison for the Liaison to then provide to the Council.  So, in this case
you and Rudi could work together (with staff support) to develop a
report/update for Ching to provide.  This could be in the form of a brief
statement, slides, or whatever you think is most helpful.  It may also be
possible for you and Rudi to be available on the Council call to answer
questions that Ching might not be able to field, if the Council agrees.

I hope this is more clear, but please let me know if you have questions.

Best regards,
Julie

Dear Julie, 

Thank you for the update.

My instinct is to ask Rudi to give an update on 27 Feb. - are you happy with
that, Rudi?

Regards,

Chris.
