Councillors, As discussed during today's call, I would like to ask the Council for clear direction on what next steps to take on the IOC/RC DT. You will recall that on the call I suggested that we instruct the DT to continue its work and that a short message be sent to the GAC. Mary had the following suggestion on the call: Mary Wong: @Stephane, in view of the apparent confusion over the DT issue, can you respond to the GAC simply stating what the DT has done to date and indicating that the GNSO as a whole is continuing to work on the second level issue without specifically mentioning that the DT will be the group doing the work? And then including that question on the agenda for our next mtg? Please add to this discussion so that we can determine what our next steps should be. Thanks, Stéphane Van Gelder Directeur Général / General manager INDOM Group NBT France ---------------- Head of Domain Operations Group NBT
