Re: [gnso-pro-wg] Current Draft of Report

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues

I have now closed off comment on the report.  I will distribute an  
amended draft final report as soon as possible -- most likely early  
next week.  I would expect that, except for minor typographical edits  
that the work of the group would be completed for this phase.

I will take into account all the [many] areas of agreement and  
disagreement and fold all that into a narrative that tries to balance  
many competing points.

To Tim's question about minority reports -- I have received his and  
will include it in a special section for minority reports in the  
appendix.  It may work out to be more sensible to include minority  
views in the body of the report depending on which sections are being  
discussed.

My thanks to all of you who have participated so vigorously.    The  
next step will be to present to Report to the Committee at the San  
Juan meeting in a special session for both the PRO and RN WGs on Sat  
23 June.

Kind regards.

Liz
