    <p>Dear Janis, <br>
    </p>
    <p>I fear your proposal for a full week in May to discuss comments
      may be impossible given our commitments to our day-jobs. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Full agreement on your comments regarding the legal team and
      aiming for the June 11 goal. Just for cusriosity, what would
      happen if funding ran out before we ended our work? Would we no
      longer be able to use the Zoom rooms, ask staff to participate,
      etc?  It seems that ICANN would be ill-advised to terminate our
      work if all it took to complete would be a short amount of time. I
      do understand (and regret) your own availability issue. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Volker<br>
