Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Cartagena event

[Elaine Pruis <elaine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tijani,

I agree we should maximize the opportunity to get feedback.  It would  
be interesting for the summary of the milestone report to highlight  
any differences since our snapshot in June ( I think there are very  
few).   Your idea to have members answer questions from the floor is  
great.  Perhaps we can pose some questions for the audience to  
consider (items the WG has not reached consensus on, or ideas for  
funding sources).
