Thanks for the esteem Avri. I hadn't yet seen your response so I hadn't noticed the promotion yet! :) Please see my comments below.

when I wrote asking permission to fprward their letter to the GNSO council, I also said(basd on the feedback I had already received):
The GNSO looks forward to your invitation to a joint meeting.
My next action was going to be to pass on the invitation to the council list once I received it ad get the council's approval for formal acceptance. This can be done via the list if we wish.
Sounds like a good plan to me. I would just suggest that we do it quickly, hopefully on the list this week, so that we can maybe quell some of the tension that has apparently developed.
* Avri send a letter to the ccNSO and to their comment site informing them that our response to the ccNSO/GAC Issues Paper on IDN ccTLDs (as requested by the Board) will not be completed until New Delhi and we respectfully request that our input be considered in the PDP.
I can do so if the council desires. I have, however, sent in my own personal response to the ccNSO comment site (mailed before I received the ccNSO letter), and would suggest that as co-chair of the council and chair of the group writing the response that you might be the better source of this respectful request. But, I am wiling to do so if the council so choses.
I would be more than happy to do this (as vice chair) if the Council is supportive of that idea. I think it is less important who sends it than it is that it be sent before the end of the public comment period, which is this coming Friday, 25 January.
* We initiate a planning process for the joint meeting in New Delhi ASAP.
Once we receive the invitation, and know the conditions of the invitation, e.g. open or closed, when, formal or informal etc, we should certainly start doing so. Also note that I have included planning for that that as a major agenda item for our Sunday meeting in ND.
I don't think we need to wait until we receive a formal invitation and know about the conditions of the meeting. That is undoubtedly true about the format of the meeting and other logistical details, but the planning I am suggesting has more to do with having a good understanding of our position and our goals going into the meeting. I tried to get the ball rolling on that with the comments I shared in my long message.
Thanks
