I want to participate as well on Wednesday. I just had a short but intense conversation on the issue with Thomas Schneider: although the GAC is far from a common position on the paper/report of their Working Group, processing the experience and taking action after the last round of gTLD is of great importance to the GAC. We will be able to report back toe Council on WED afternoon.

I am pleased to see that the GNSO ultimately received an invitation to this "community session" which unquestionably involves matters of gTLD policy. Jonathan, I would be very grateful if you were willing to reply thanking Olga for the invitation and confirming that we will convey the name of the GNSO representative very soon. I will attend this session but do not wish to be put forward as representing the GNSO on the panel without input from Council colleagues. My concern about this panel has been procedural - that the GNSO be represented, not that I or any particular person be the representative. Also involved in this issue is Carlos Gutierrez, who serves with me as GNSO co-chairs on the CWG Country and Territory Names; Carlos is the Council's liaison on that CWG. Many thanks and best wishes in advance for any feedback received, Heather _____ From: Jonathan Robinson [jrobinson@afilias.info] Sent: Monday, 9 February 2015 17:32 To: Heather Forrest Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: FW: Invitation to the GNSO - GAC Community Session on Protection of Geographic Names Heather, I have received the below and attached invitation from Olga Cavelli.
