<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Trang Nguyen: @Phil, apologies I missed the last WT2 call due to a conflict. When I listened to the recording, it was not clear that the WT agreed on a formulation of question to ICANN org? If you and/or Michael
could please send the WT's question to the list, we'd be happy to respond. As we have different data that we collect, it would be helpful when formulating the question to indicate the intent/purpose of the question so we can make sure that we provide the appropriate
response. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
