[gnso-restruc-dt] Re: [council] GNSO Improvements Board action and follow-up efforts

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Based on the following excerpts from Denise's message it seems  
reasonable to schedule a meeting of the Restructuring Drafting Team.   
I will ask Glen to try and find a time for this meeting.  I will also  
add this topic to the agenda of the meeting to be held by the council  
on 13 August.
Thanks

a.
