<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
<div dir="ltr">It was good to see most of you in person and I hope you had safe trips back home. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">As discussed during the wrap-up session, here comes my suggestion for a little note to be sent by our leadership to Tripti and Sally.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Please chime in before the end of next Monday with any comments or suggestions you might have as I think we should send it soon after the end of ICANN76.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">All the best,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Tripti, dear Sally,</div>
<div dir="ltr">when the GNSO Council met for its wrap-up session at the end of ICANN76, progress made during the recent weeks at ICANN was discussed. Councillors agreed, not least based on what they heard during sessions while being in Cancun, that there seems
to be a noticable change, maybe even a cultural change, towards „getting things done“. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">With this note, we would like to express </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<ul><li>the Council‘s support for this spirit of pragmatism and delivery whilst being appropriately diligent,</li><li>thank you and your Board and Org colleagues and </li><li>encourage you to continue with this approach.</li></ul>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Kind regards,</div>
