[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Face to face?

[Mary Wong]

Hi Kathy and everyone,

Assuming the WG continues to make good progress, the revised time line in
the updated Work Plan that was circulated recently has the Initial Report
out for public comment - for a minimum period of 40 days - sometime in mid-
(or possibly late) April. This will allow the WG to begin its review of
public comments received during the lead-up to the Buenos Aires meeting,
such that a F2F session there can be helpful to the WG¹s preparations for
its formal Consensus Call and Final Report.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
Mary
