2.  Waiver/Exception:  Greg has volunteered to work with Marie-Laure to further develop a proposal on this issue.

3.  Email Voting:  This item is still under discussion. Anne has volunteered to work with Avri and Thomas to further develop and refine the ideas currently under review. Staff is checking with the GNSO Secretariat as to current method used for absentee voting (i.e. general email or actual electronic ballot).

4.  WG Guidelines/Consensus Levels:  These will be discussed as first agenda item at the 28 January. Thomas will provide an overview, and will be joined on this sub-team by Amr, Cintra and Greg.
