[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Re: SCI Chair's Report to Council

Tue Feb 3 15:12:23 UTC 2015

Dear Anne,

Thank you very much for initiating the straw poll.  Mary and I think it will
help to elicit responses from those SCI members who have not yet expressed
an opinion.

Staff also thought it would be helpful to point out ‹ because some SCI
members may not be aware of this ‹ that there is a GNSO group already tasked
to review the Westlake report.  That group is the GNSO Review Working Party,
chaired by Jen Wolfe.  See the wiki at:
https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/GNSO+Review+2014+Home.

Best regards,
Julie
Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
