NCUC:

We've got a full list of action items for the constituency to consider in the coming weeks.  Below is a summary from Glen with links to relevant reports.

There are three reports for us to consider and comment on, including a very important GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan, which is expected for a vote on 16 October.  And we need 2 volunteers for steering committees to work on implementation.

Please consider the WHOIS Hypothesis Study Group Report as there will be a vote on 16 October, which if any studies are to be pursued.

We also need any comments on the Geographic Regions Report by 16 October when the GNSO Comments are expected to be finalized.  

We need volunteers for a drafting team on GNSO travel policy. 

Please send any comments or expressions of interest to volunteer for these assignments to this list.

Thanks!
Robin
