<div>During the GNSO Council's meeting in Los Angeles on 24 January, the Council took as an action item to better understand how the work of the EPDP team and the Technical Study Group relate. It was noted that the Technical Study Group may have concerns around how the policy recommendations we generate may impact its work, so we should both be informed of each other's scope, mandate, and activities. I hope such a briefing will be forthcoming.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,<br></div><div>Ayden Férdeline <br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On Thursday, January 24, 2019 8:30 PM, Stephanie Perrin <stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"><p><span style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span style="font-family:Lucida Grande">I have not come upon any yet....am still listening to the last of the recordings.</span></span><br></p><p><span style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span style="font-family:Lucida Grande">Good question to ask, when we request a briefing.</span></span><br></p><p><span style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span style="font-family:Lucida Grande">Stephanie</span></span><br></p><div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 2019-01-24 17:51, Ayden Férdeline wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Thank you for sharing this, Stephanie, this is very interesting - it seems this group has a lot of resources at their disposal.
