<div>To start this conversation...<br></div><div><br></div><div>I am inclined to suggest Option A. I say this because the WHOIS 2 Review is supposed to be an independent review, and the Review Team (from what I gather) would like it to continue. And, given $360k has already been spent on two face-to-face meetings and a lunch (the catering bill was $15k in Johannesburg for 20 or so people for an informal 'kick off' - what did you spend that on? champagne?), and an initial report is not too far away, it seems better to finish this one off and not re-start it in a year's time. Plus, there's another 9 Reviews that have to be started...<br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Ayden <br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On 16 May 2018 2:48 PM, Stephanie Perrin <stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><p><span class="size" style="font-size:undefinedpx"><span class="font" style="font-family:Lucida Grande">we need to respond to
