In addition, please find attached an updated version of the proposed consent agenda language in which I've aimed to incorporate the different points raised during the meeting. Also, dedicated wiki pages have been created for the different sub-teams (see <a href="https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg">https://community.icann.org/x/LIHg</a>). If there are any additional volunteers for any of the sub-teams, please let me know. Please note that we still need to modify the permissions for the wiki space so that everyone has the appropriate editing capabilities (hopefully this will get taken care off in the next couple of days). </div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">The next SCI meeting is scheduled for 17 May at 19.00 UTC.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">With best regards,</div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Marika</div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left; color: black; border-bottom-width: medium; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-color: initial; border-left-width: medium; border-left-style: none; border-left-color: initial; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-style: solid; border-right-width: medium; border-right-style: none; border-right-color: initial; padding-top: 3pt; "><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Marika Konings <<a href="mailto:marika.konings@icann.org">marika.konings@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reply-To: </span> Marika Konings <<a href="mailto:marika.konings@icann.org">marika.konings@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Marika Konings <<a href="mailto:marika.konings@icann.org">marika.konings@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Adobe Connect - Note Pod Content from Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation<br></div><div style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></div><top><p align="LEFT" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "></p><pre style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b><u><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Proposed Agenda</font></u></b></pre><p></p><p align="LEFT"></p><pre style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">1.
