<font face="Arial">Dear Chantelle, dear all , <br>
<br>
I would also like to express my interest to volunteer, with as
mush as of the capacity that I can contribute, taking into account
my locality and country , i.e I'm not that much in the "all
gTLD's" Does this means that I should join as mailing list
observer rather than as an individual participant ? <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
<br>
A.I. <br>

Working Group is also expected to look at the
interplay between and complementary roles of
each RPM in seeking to more fully understand
their overall functioning and effectiveness.
Ultimately, the goal is for the Working Group to
consider the overarching issue as to whether or
not all the RPMs collectively fulfill the
purposes for which they were created, or whether
additional policy recommendations are needed,

directed that a GNSO community liaison be

policy development process, the GNSO Council
is to be kept informed about the various
