Hi,

That would be great, Carol. I'm not sure if ISOC were planning any form of formal submission, but tomorrow is perfect timing to share with governments - the negotiations start on Thursday.

I'll also drop a line to Constance to check if this could be formally submitted to the process.

Best,
Lea
