Re: [ssac-gnso-irdwg] FW: [council] GNSO Council resolution 27 June 2012

["James M. Galvin" <jgalvin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Steve for the timely update and thank you and all the ICANN  
staff for your exemplary support producing our work product.
Thanks to everyone on this working group, especially those who stayed  
strong to the end.  This working group did run a little bit long and,  
as is typical in these situations, "only the strong survive"!
This was an important and essential work product.  The next step is  
for each of us to engage wherever we can in the ICANN community to  
advance our recommendations.
Jim
Co-Chair IRD Working Group
