Hi Wendy, during the discussions about the first level, GAC representatives were invited to participate in calls of the DT so they might also be included before the recommendations have been reviewed by the Council. Thomas Am 11.05.2012 um 12:55 schrieb Wendy Seltzer:

Thanks Thomas.
Is everyone happy with this?
Suggested amendments below: Isn't the correct interface for the GAC is with GNSO Council, not Drafting Team? (This is independent of NCSG's preference that the Drafting Team activity be stopped altogether.)

Stéphane, I would add a few more words. Please find my proposal below.

Dear... with this message, we would like to give you an update on the status with respect to your request regarding protection of the the IOC / RCRC names.
As you know, the Drafting Team has completed its work on protections at the Top Level, which has resulted in a Resolution by the GNSO Council of March, 26 (20120326-1). We would like to thank you for your co-operation during that phase of the work.
Please be advised that during yesterday's Council Meeting, Council asked the Drafting Team to continue its work in response to your request for protections at the Second Level. We will let you know once the Council has reviewed the Drafting Team's recommendations and invite you to work further with the GNSO Council.
--Wendy
the Drafting Team has provided a recommendation to the GNSO Council and invite you to work with the group again in due course.
Best regards,

So the message would be this?
The Drafting Team is continuing to work on the issue and will provide its recommendations back to the GNSO Council.

The Drafting Team should keep working in order to provide its recommendations back to the GNSO Council.
Willing and effective volunteers should be cherished.

I disagreed with Mary’s suggestion on the chat and continue to for a number of reasons. First, implicit in Mary’s note is the notion that the Council has made the decision to abandon the Drafting Team approach, which is a notion I only advocated by the NCSG on the call.
Second, it sends the wrong message to the current Drafting Team and will make it next to impossible for the Drafting Team to get any work done between now and Prague. They will not want to do any work on the second level issues as they will believe that doing such work would be a waste of their time (Since the GNSO as a whole is “continuing to work” on the issue). That feeling has already been expressed by several members of the DT (prior to the GNSO Council call). There is a strong belief that any future work will be a waste of their volunteer time.
So, if we actually expect the DT to keep working on a response, which was what I clearly heard on the call, then let’s just state that the Drafting Team is continuing to work on the issue and will provide its recommendations back to the GNSO Council. If on the other hand the GNSO as a whole is willing to get on calls every two weeks and really work in earnest on the response, then I am fine with the message Mary suggests and I expect to see you all on the call next Wednesday as scheduled. I am fine with taking either approach…the Drafting Team works on it, or the GNSO as a whole works on its. But we can’t just state that the GNSO as a whole is working on it, and then it turns out no one actually does.
Thanks.

From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Stéphane Van Gelder Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:50 PM To: GNSO Council List Subject: [council] IOC/RC
Councillors,
As discussed during today's call, I would like to ask the Council for clear direction on what next steps to take on the IOC/RC DT.
You will recall that on the call I suggested that we instruct the DT to continue its work and that a short message be sent to the GAC.
Mary had the following suggestion on the call:
Mary Wong: @Stephane, in view of the apparent confusion over the DT issue, can you respond to the GAC simply stating what the DT has done to date and indicating that the GNSO as a whole is continuing to work on the second level issue without specifically mentioning that the DT will be the group doing the work? And then including that question on the agenda for our next mtg?
Please add to this discussion so that we can determine what our next steps should be.
Thanks,
