Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI Letter to GNSO Council Chair Jonathan Robinson
Anne, The Secretariat has sent a reminder for SCI members to respond as to whether they can attend the call tomorrow with a deadline to reply by the end of the day today. Late today/early tomorrow we'll see how many responses we have and let you know, including which members specifically can attend. We know already that Thomas, Greg, and Avri have conflicts for the meeting. If we cannot get key participants to join the call tomorrow we'll ask the Secretariat to send out a Doodle to find a better time for a call.
