For example, in connection with Sub Pro, a lot depends on the Refreshed Small Team "triage" on the 38 questions the Board has raised in connection with Sub Pro policy, i.e. (i) whether Council determines to reaffirm a particular Final Report policy recommendation or to enter into discussions to modify the Final Report Recommendation based on the Board's observations.<div><br></div><div>I'll leave the topic of DNS Abuse to the DNS Abuse small team members.</div><div><br></div><div>Anne</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Anne Aikman-Scalese</div>GNSO Councilor<div>NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024</div><div><a href="mailto:anneicanngnso@gmail.com" target="_blank">anneicanngnso@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 9, 2023 at 6:54 AM Jeff Neuman via council <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
