Its true that Stephane clarified before speaking that he was not speaking on behalf of GNSO or as its Chair.

I understand that in the current climate of mistrust that some seem intent on maintaining within the Council, I need to make such clarifications every time I say anything to anyone, anywhere, and so will continue to do so because that is what the role of Chair demands. However I don't share your view that some reading that article would think I was speaking as GNSO Chair. Quite the contrary, most people seem to clearly understand that even though I am the current GNSO Chair, in my normal working day, I represent the company I work for and not anyone, or anything else.

Hopefully the clarification about my comment will help.

A number of people in my world interpreted the motion and intro text to mean it had GAC support.  As for Stephane�s comments, I hope not. Stephane?Ã≠ Unfortunately, however, he�s identified in the article as being GNSO Council Chair so people reading the article will likely assume that he was speaking for (or with the endorsement of) the Council. om: Tim Ruiz [mailto:tim@godaddy.com] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 10:20 AM To: Rosette, Kristina Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] Our Chair's quote in Managing Internet IP  No one ever said the GAC endorsed the RrSG motion. And I doubt highly that Stephane presented his comments as the view of the Council.

"The GNSO's van Gelder concluded that brands must ensure that there is sufficient demand before proceeding with their application.Ã∞� 'Don't forget the sales channel and the marketing part of the TLD.Ã∞� You must butter up the registrars,' he said." Ã∞� I don't believe I got that memo.Ã∞� Perhaps it got lost along with the memo to the GAC seeking its endorsement of the RrSG motion . . . Ã∞� Ã∞� Ã∞�Â
