[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Short Update from the Leadership Team

Wed Jun 20 05:16:43 UTC 2018

Thank you, Jeff, for this update. It is much appreciated.

I am looking forward to receiving the red-lined updates as well as further
indications as to 'missing topics' and will try my best to engage in the
ICANN62 SubPro proceedings via remote participation.

Regards,

Justine Chew
