Thanks Damon. Councilors- please review this letter once more with your SGs and send any concerns to list. We have added an item in AOB for October’s meeting to briefly discuss the updated draft. Thanks, Greg From: Ashcraft, Damon via council <council@icann.org> Sent: Saturday, October 5, 2024 2:31 PM To: GNSO Council List <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [council] Draft Letter to Tripti/ICANN Board CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you can confirm the sender and know the content is safe. All: Please see the draft letter that is proposed to be sent to Tripti regarding the IPC’ RFR dismissal. As discussed, the Council is not writing to specifically support the IPC—rather to point out concerns with the process concerning the auction proceeds and dismissal of the RFR in general. This draft was worked on in a small group with Greg, Nacho, Paul, and myself and we learned that the Registry Stakeholder Group had some concerns that Kurt conveyed to us. Kurt has been very helpful in conveying these concerns this version reflects edits based on those comments. Please review and provide any feedback you have. Thanks, Damon J.
