[council] FW: Formation of a GNSO-Board Working Group re the EWG Final Report

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi Marilia,

I imagine all call recordings/transcripts and email lists will be publicly archived.

Also, Stephanie will be on the Council by the time this WG moves forward (if it moves forward), so perhaps she is a more ideal candidate than I am on this one.

Thanks.

Amr
