Dear Darcy, Donna, and Susan- Thank you for drafting these comments on behalf of the Council. Regarding the highlighted text under 3.15, I do not come with answers, but just wanted to interject to say that from what I understand, the nature of the decisions made by the Ombudsperson are non-binding. I believe the community has to respond to inquires from the Ombudsperson but the community is not (and should not be) obliged to comply with the decisions of the Ombudsperson. But I might be mistaken. I'm not sure what the case is for complaints filled with ICANN's Complaints Officer, but I would be very surprised to hear that they could be more consequential.

Hi Ayden
Yes, I did mean these are now submitted for Council’s consideration.
Thanks for picking this up and clarifying.

Hi Donna,
You wrote that these are "not" submitted for Council’s consideration. Apologies to focus on semantics but did you mean they are "now" submitted for Council’s consideration?
Thank you for clarifying.
Kind regards,

All
Please find attached draft GNSO Council comments on Operating Standards for Specific Reviews. These comments have been drafted by Susan Kawaguchi, Darcy Southwell and myself and are not submitted to Council for consideration.
I think the comments are in really good shape with one exception: 3.15 that addresses removal of review team members. So it would be appreciated if folks could pay particular attention to that section.
The aim is to have the comments approved during our Council meeting on 30 January, in order to submit the comments by the deadline of 2 February.
Look forward to your input.
Thanks
Donna
