 should be considered. To this end, the GNSO SOI Task Force (TF) was formed. As part of its assignment, the TF is reaching out to the ICANN community to solicit input on the current use and experience with SOIs as well as suggestions for possible improvements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 as well as any lessons learned that may help inform our recommendations. You are encouraged to share this information with your respective groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
