Re: [gnso-iocrc-dt] FW: Update from The New gTLD Program Committee on the Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC Issues

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for sending it on Jeff.

Cherine's note is obviously of great importance to this group. Please note the 
deadline set by the Board for them to get a response from the GNSO and adjust 
your work schedule accordingly.

If the group has a problem with either the deadline or the work it is being 
asked to do here, please let the Council know asap.

Once again, my thanks to this group for its hard work on these issues.
