[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear members

The following links provide recent correspondence from Peter Dengate Thrush, 
Board Chair to Heather Dryden, GAC Chairwhich the Chair has asked that I call 
to your attention.
The first link is the Board/staff response to the GAC on the scorecard and will 
be very important to members trying to trackthe status of discussions on the 
new gTLDs.The second link is a very recent letter from Board Chair to GAC Chair 
on the ATRT. Both are relevant to BC discussions during San Francisco meeting.

I will try to keep down the extraordinary postings, but since these are 
documents that I was asked about by a couple of members,am posting them for 
your convenience.  
Stay tuned for a later posting with updates on the schedules for next week. I 
am promised news from ICANN during the day on the schedulereorganizations. 
We will have an informal BC gathering on Friday evening with informal drinks 
for members there already, Saturday morning and evening if needed [brief 
gatherings on Saturday]. and a more formalized updated schedule to be announced 
as noted, later today.
