[Gnso-review-wg] FOR REVIEW: Revised Charter for Recommendation 22

Wed Feb 14 09:49:20 UTC 2018

Thanks very much Julie!

The annex doesn't show redlines (at least my version). Nevertheless the 
determination is clear to me. I wonder whether we've ever added 
recommendations to our determinations. If so it could mean that future 
action or decisions to take action are expected (by the council?). Or 
isn't it more like an action item for staff which doesn't need further 
deliberations?

I have to apologize most probably not attending the call tomorrow (I 
hope Jen can do this) since celebrating the Chinese New Year Festival 
that time.

*恭喜發財!*
