<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Councilors,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following on to John’s message, I thought it would be helpful to provide some additional guidance on how to review the document. You will see there are four columns in the triage document, excluding the numbering of rows. Below, please
find the columns names and a brief description of each one:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Output Overview: Relevant SubPro Final Report Recommendation language</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Issue Synopsis: Overview of Board’s concerns, with additional context from discussion with Avri and Becky</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Notes: Summary of Small Team’s deliberations and assessment of the Board’s concerns</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Tentative Proposed GNSO Council Action (option a-g): Small Team’s input to Council on the proposed path forward based on the categories</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While all of the columns are important in some respect, the “Assessment” in the Notes column and the “Proposed Path Forward” are the most critical aspects to pay attention to, with the latter serving as the primary driver for our future
interaction with the Board. To emphasize what John noted, it is really important that you come to the Extraordinary Meeting having reviewed the document and to the extent possible, reviewed it with your SG/Cs as well.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Councilors,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As reported </span>at the last<span style="color:black"> GNSO Council meeting, the Small Team has completed its review of the SubPro recommendations that the Board marked as “pending”.
</span> A large thanks to the Small Team for drafting the<span style="color:black"> attached document
</span>which <span style="color:black">is the Small Team's output per the assignment form. The document captures the deliberations, assessments, and proposed paths forward for each of the relevant Board concerns. The Small Team’s output is intended to be
the basis of the GNSO Council's Extraordinary Meeting on 04 May where the hope is that the Council reaches agreement on the proposed paths forward. Further, once the Council reaches agreement, it then needs to get aligned with the Board on the proposed paths
forward. </span>It will be important to have reviewed this is advance of the GNSO Council's Extraordinary Meeting.<span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you again to the Small Team for its hard work.</p>
