Dear Councillors, Following our extraordinary meeting on 8 April 2021, Council leadership, with the support of the GNSO Support Staff, has worked together to develop a set of proposed next steps for dealing with the topic of accuracy. The proposed next steps aim to find a balance between the different viewpoints that have been expressed on this topic while at the same time recognizing our commitment to fact-based policy development. The Council leadership's expectation is that by focusing on identifying and confirming the problem(s) (if any), the scoping team will be in a much better position to recommend to the Council what next steps to take. We would like to request that you review the attached document with your respective groups and indicate by Friday 7 May at the latest if you have any significant concerns or objections about the proposed next steps. If no concerns or objections are raised, Council leadership will include formal confirmation of these next steps on the consent agenda for the Council meeting on 20 May 2021. We would also like to request Jeffrey, as the Council liaison to the GAC, to share this message with his GAC point of contact for the GAC's information, making clear that this document is still subject to change, as the GAC has expressed interest in this topic in its recent engagements with the GNSO Council.
