Dear all, Please find attached an updated draft of the letter discussed at the Council meeting of 25 September. Following discussions with Thomas and Alan, the following sentence was added as the final sentence to the paragraph that deals with protection for Red Cross national society names: "We would greatly appreciate it if the NGPC can share with the Council its thoughts on the most appropriate form of protection for these national Red Cross society names, to ensure that if the Council decides to propose amendments for which it will need to reconvene the original PDP WG, it considers a proposal which will ultimately meet the needs of the NGPC.² Please reply to this list if you have any other comments or suggestions for the letter. If not, staff proposes that Jonathan be able to send the final letter off to Cherine and Chris by the end of this week. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong@icann.org
