Julie, Mary,

Many thanks for the good work delivered for the SCI, especially with regards 
the proposed text.

To all members of the SCI,

May i call on you to provide your approval to the proposed text so we can move 
forward and finally close this issue and hand it over to the GNSO council. Many 
thanks for all your good work in this process.

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick
Chair SCI
