Hi, Yes, it was generous of the ccNSO and GAC chairs to allow us lurk and I very much appreciate this concession on their part. To me personally, it does not change the need to appeal the balance in the group as soon as possible. If the basis of that appeal is the parity/equality issue of the SO in deciding on the re-allocation of responsibility for the names in TLD space, then that issue still needs to be discussed. I personally think that the need to send the appeal to the board is a separate issue from getting the entire position of the GSNO vis a vis i-ccTLDs documented in the Issues paper. I think the schedule for the Issues paper rework is aggressive but good. I think that the letter needs to be ready within a week or less. And assuming the letter requires a vote of the council, which does strengthen such a letter, I think that vote needs to occur at our next meeting. I will have a first draft of that letter for the drafting team to review shortly. a. On 7 dec 2007, at 05.49, Gomes, Chuck wrote:
Thanks Avri. Encouraging news in my opinion. It still seems important to me that the small group develop a clear statement about our position on this issue. We can decide later whether we need to include it in a letter to the Board, but we definitely need it to articulate our position in general and in the rework of our comments in response to the Issues Paper.

Hi,
I conveyed the council decisions regarding the IDNC WG to Chris Desspain and Janis Karklins this morning. I have received a note from Chris welcoming the representatives. Additionally when I asked him about my being able to participate as an observer, he agreed to this and extended the invitation to include our 2 alternates as 'lurkers' as well.
