Thanks Steve. I made two comments in the document. The substantive one is as follows: Should the letter consider the possibility that the appropriately chartered and qualified group may conclude that single character Han script strings are inadvisable due to the risk of confusion? Or are we telling ICANN Org to instruct that group to develop guidelines without considering that possibility raise in public comment? Thanks for drafting to you and Justine!

Dear Councilors,
Staff has prepared a draft letter for the Council to send to our colleagues in the Global Domains & Strategy (GDS) regarding single character Han script gTLDs. As agreed during the Council’s May meeting, the Council wishes to request that GDS, “identify an alternative party to develop the required guidelines, envisioned to be performed by CJK GPs.” Please see the draft letter here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oiwXXuhDWp7UgJIacanHdx9eRfuRkcd7Tyu9HhwA... [docs.google.com] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1oiwXXuhDWp7Ug...>
We would like to suggest that if you have any feedback, *please provide by 17 July 2025*.
Best,
Steve
