Hi,

Indeed the GNSO review is coming and is an opportunity to do
self-evaluation and improve ourselves when needed. this review will put
pressure on other groups and highlights any gap since the community will be
involved in the process of evaluation if I am not misunderstanding the
quick explanation in yesterday webinar.

our compliance may be a feature not an error, we are living to the
principles we are usually advocating as civil society. but yes till now,
the community was not clearly asked for input regarding the GNSO review.

we can bring the GNSO review and the compliance  as topic during the
meeting with the board in London  but I am wondering what the board members
would say? probably SIC (structural improvement committee) members will be
the only to respond to that . anyway I will add it to the list of candidate
topics, London meeting coming soon and so the preparation from our side!!

Best Regards,

Rafik
