The Co-Chairs and staff have taken a first pass at this exercise, which you will here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19vmRAqansu_eo71jXnYG3fz_MiThlGZnq9kxMagrDC0/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19vmRAqansu_eo71jXnYG3fz_MiThlGZnq9kxMagrDC0/edit?usp=sharing</a>. However, as this WG has discussed, the basis for seeking additional public comment should be when the outcomes (e.g., draft Final Recommendations) represent something that the community has not reasonably had a chance previously to provide comment. From that standpoint, any discussions on Monday will be preliminary, as the WG works towards its draft Final Recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Steve<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='color:black'>Gnso-newgtld-wg <gnso-newgtld-wg-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Steve Chan <steve.chan@icann.org><br><b>Date: </b>Friday, November 1, 2019 at 6:10 AM<br><b>To: </b>"gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org" <gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org><br><b>Subject: </b>[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Supporting Discussion Materials for 4 November 2019 SubPro Working Sessions<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Dear WG Members,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>In support of the SubPro sessions on 4 November 2019, from 15:15-18:30 local time (see agenda here: <a href="https://community.icann.org/x/BY7kBg">https://community.icann.org/x/BY7kBg</a>), leadership and staff have developed discussion papers for three topics.
