      <div>Dear DG Members,</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>As discussed on today’s group call, staff is circulating the
        updated Issues / Recommendations matrix that was last edited by
        Jeff Neuman, along with his short explanation regarding the
        proposed groupings he included in the document (see below). I
        have also included his updated Executive Summary. As noted by
        Jeff on the call, the co-chairs request feedback by <b>30 Mar
          2015</b> and preferably before, so as to be able to include
        for discussion during the DG call on 30 Mar 2015 at 14:00 UTC.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Note, I have incorporated Philip Shepard’s proposed changes
        into tab 2 of the attached Excel sheet.</div>
