<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As discussed during the SCI meeting last week, please find attached for
final review the latest version of the proposed language for the consent
agenda. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As a reminder, this issue was discussed extensively at the SCI meeting of
3 May (see notes of the meeting here: <A
href="https://community.icann.org/x/JMTbAQ">https://community.icann.org/x/JMTbAQ</A>)
and the language as originally proposed by J. Scott was updated accordingly
(see <A
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg00172.html">http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvem-impl-sc/msg00172.html</A>).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The SCI intends to finalize this language at its next meeting, so if you
have any objections and/or suggestions, please share those with the mailing
list as soon as possible.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>With best regards,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
