All good!  Adding Pedro's #5, key work in preparation for the UDRP 
Review and Charter for the upcoming policy development process will take 
place in 2025 -- the first time in 25 years that the ICANN Community 
will review this very first "consensus policy" for domain names disputes 
that impacts every domain name registrant.

It will be a busy year - and good to start planning now.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Kathy
