This is a pretty serious topic, I agree, as another elected rep. I do not mind at all that we discuss this tomorrow. I would oppose though any attempt to rush anything through tomorrow. Be it dismissing the whole WIPO II request (which my constituency wouldn't mind as such) or taking some position. We need serious discussion about this topic, which cannot be accomplished in one teleconference as such short notice. I suggest we discuss WIPO II on this list before we make _any_ decision. Thanks.

Dear Bruce, As an elected rep to the BC on Council, I support the request for information and offer the following thought:
The working group on WIPO II did not achieve consensus. Changes in policy by ICANN require consensus In the BC, we have received inquiries from our members, regarding the action of the ICANN regarding this issue.
I want to support raisign this issue in Council to a priority level, and noting to the Board and staff that there is no support to make changes, given that there is no consensus in the working group.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss this within Council and will be on Thursday's call. I have to leave at 3:30 EST, so ask that this issue be raised between 2 and 3:00 p.m. so that I can help to address it.
Best regards,
Marilyn
