<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Anne and all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Staff notes that there may have been a misunderstanding stemming from an error in the original Call for Volunteers for the GGP. Specifically, in respect of Observers to the GGP, the Call stated, "Note that in addition to the single representative
from your group, the GGP permits Observers to the process. Observers are anyone interested in the GGP, who are provided with read-only access to the mailing list and are not invited to attend meetings." Subsequently, the GNSO Secretariat sent a message last
week to all SGs/Cs, SOs, and ACs to clarify that <b><i>Observers will in fact be able to sign-up and receive invitations for the meeting and will be able attend GGP meetings in real-time</i></b>, though they will only be able to listen to the conversation.</p>

There is no GAC Advice or follow up to GAC Advice, but there are a number of Issues of Importance which involve GNSO topics. If there is anyone else that wants to do such a review, please let me know.
