<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thanks for the question. The short answer is that the small team’s suggestions regarding Issues of Importance will follow soon. There is a different document for that work. The Board-GAC
meeting only focuses on the Advice items, so that is where there is time pressure to make the Tuesday deadline. There is more time to weigh in on Issues of Importance. I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Councilors, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As you are aware, a small team of Councilors has been working on a draft of the GNSO Review of GAC Communique Advice, to be delivered to the Board prior to the Board-GAC meeting to discuss any clarifying questions about
the Advice items. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Board-GAC meeting has just been scheduled and will take place on Tuesday, 11 April, meaning that the Review needs to be completed and delivered much more quickly than anticipated. Given the exceptional circumstances,
and acknowledging the holiday weekend for many, we are hoping that everyone can be flexible in getting this document over the finish line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">A draft of the Review has been completed by small team members, but the small team as a whole has had limited opportunity to consider the latest version. With that in mind, small team members may be providing input along
with other Councilors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Please find the draft here: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1829lKsBSn_O0ecSeI4FFLBhLymLAKIs9gx81P_6n3yw/edit?usp=sharing__;!!PtGJab4!4kGMhasBXO-Nt5g9aFR53sCOhquKVsoem5lZcOHjyn47cb_2DM0XfyMbcVuA9NuHJGiLmMhtu3MlrSS8q5b0lsgztW8$">

<b>Councilors are requested to provide any input as soon as possible, but no later than Monday 10 April at 12:00 UTC.
<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The document will be finalized and shared with the Board on Monday, along with a note that the document is expected to be adopted by Council during the April Council meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
