I have similar concerns. In any event, I would rather we first vote on the motion so we know which way we intend to go with it. That way the letter can be clear and cause no confusion or misunderstanding. Tim

Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for your request. I am copying the Council on my response because I think this is a discussion we should all be having.
Let me start by saying how much I appreciate your efforts as leader of the GNSO Council's Consumer metrics initiative. I'm sure all Councillors feel the same way.
What I am not sure of, however, is that all would feel comfortable with me sending the letter you have drafted as-is. My understanding is that we as a Council have yet to determine whether we are comfortable with moving this ahead as a cross-community effort.
My own personal view is that the letter as drafted could be misconstrued as a call for cross-community work. I am not saying whether this is a good or bad thing, but as there has been considerable debate on this over the past few months, I would not feel comfortable in sending such a letter in my capacity as Chair unless I know the Council supports that move.
So may I ask for comments on the proposed letter? Is everyone OK with me sending it as-is?
Thanks.
Stéphane

Hi Stephane
I wonder if you would review this letter for GAC and ccNSO if you are happy to send it as GNSO Council Chair
The topic of extended participation in our discussions came up at our audio-conference on Wednesday
The group appreciates that the Motion still has to be approved by Council but there is interest in the work continuing on an informal basis in the meantime
but a strong view that the concepts are complicated and inter-related
so the more diverse views the better, the earlier the better.....
the letter will need Glen's attention to ensure ICANN protocols and
details are correct - I am completely out of my depth on all that!!!!
cheers
