Working Party Comments
Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments and feedback on the 
Working Text and earlier version of the Draft Report.  Westlake has 
catalogued<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53772893/Resolution%20of%20Working%20Party%20Comments%20in%20Draft%20Report.pdf?api=v2>
 all feedback and included their disposition of each comment (this information

Working Party meeting at ICANN53
Finally, I'd like to remind you to complete the Doodle 
Poll<http://doodle.com/mimnhn3fmbx3bvsp> sent by Charla a few days ago to 
assist us with scheduling your meeting in BA.  Staff included options that 
appeared least conflicted based on suggestions from Working Party members, GNSO 
support staff and the published ICANN meeting schedule.  If you feel that there 
is another better option, please let us know and we will include it in the 
Doodle Poll.  The Doodle Poll will close by COB on Friday 5 June.

Thank you again for your hard work and commitment to the GNSO Review.  I hope 
to see many of you in Buenos Aires.
Larisa
