<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">In line with
best practice experience from the Transition-related work,
the Board is using Caucus Groups as a mechanism for the
Board to provide input to Specific Review Teams on the scope
of work, feasibility of recommendations and other key
matters. These Caucus Groups are small groups of Board
members with expertise and interest in the particular
Review-related topics. The goal is to create an interactive
environment where the Board can engage with the Review Teams
to offer input and observations for Review Teams’
consideration on a timely basis, via the Board Caucus Group.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">The Board
Caucus Group for the RDS-WHOIS2 Review has been formed, and
currently consists of Rinalia Abdul Rahim, Cherine Chalaby,
Steve Crocker, Markus Kummer, Akinori Maemura, Kaveh Ranjbar
and me.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">It is
important to highlight that the formation of the Caucus
Groups is the Board’s internal method of conducting their
work. All of the final results are seen and reviewed by the
full Board so any response or feedback provided to the
Review Team by the Caucus Group is on behalf of the full
Board.</div>
