[council] GNSO PDP Dec 05: New TLDs Proposed Work Plan

[Marilyn Cade]

Happy to discuss the work with SOs. Have made this point before. Outreach to
the SOs is the responsibility of this Council. So we need to figure it out
and do outreach, as a council.

Marilyn

Thanks for quick response.

I'm particularly interested in your last point -- about work with  
other SOs and how that ought to be managed.  Perhaps that can also be  
part of a discussion and plan at the Wellington Council meeting?

Kind regards.

Liz
