<p>Hi Nims and everyone</p><div>Thank you for pointing out and offering such insightful
suggestions. I agree with you Nims. We should address the issue at the very
beginning, before the working groups come in full action. I do believe that being
more candid about our expectations should help us to build a more efficient and
committed working group. I be certain of that UASG group will appreciate
your valuable suggestions, perhaps the time has come to finish the task speedily
before next ICANN.<br></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="background-color:white">Thanks</span><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="background-color:white">Fariz Ahmadi</span><br></p><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On Monday, July 29, 2019 4:36 PM, richard nims <richnims@gmail.com> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family:Times, serif"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman", serif">Hello,
