[Wessels, Duane]

Dear RZERC members,

I received the message below from Ed Lewis last week.  I've asked Mario to post this correspondence on RZERC's web page and we can discuss this development at our next regular meeting.

> 
>    "Issues may be brought to the standing committee’s attention by any of its members, by PTI staff, or by the CSC."
> 
> Therefore, the request from the ICANN org directly to RZERC to weigh in on the root zone study did not follow an appropriate channel, and we would like to please withdraw our request to RZERC on this matter. From our perspective, the committee does not need to take any further action on the root zone study on OCTO's behalf.

> We apologize for any confusion and thank the committee for its time.
