I would agree with Tim on this as being a compromise that we can possibly all get behind, but we are not there yet. We haven't had time to consult with the registrars and we have yet to hear from all the GNSO groups.
However, if that can happen soon, I would certainly be very happy to be able to distribute a statement thanking the JAS WG and highlighting the importance
So, for the sake of clarity, what the heck does the current version look like?

If we can get agreement on this soon, I would suggest this be posted on the
Council's website and also sent by me to the Chairs of the Board, the GAC, the ccNSO and ALAC.
Thoughts?

Tim, I don't understand the 1st sentence - "The GNSO Council wishes to reiterate its support for the work of the Joint Applicant Support Working Group" - as support of all of the JAS-WG results (which could be seen as pre-endorsement) rather than as an ecouragement to continue in finding acceptable solutions for a given task.
Kind regards Wolf-Ulrich

Sorry Mary, I didn't get to the end of the thread before replying. If you drop the first sentence, and add the without further delay as in my first suggestion, I think the RrSG would be more likely to approve. So it would be:
"The GNSO Council unanimously believes that it is important for the new gTLD program to be globally inclusive, and to have as part of the implementation plan meaningful and workable mechanisms which will assist potential needy applicants, inter alia from developing regions of the world, participate in the first round of the new gTLD program as fully as possible without delaying the program rollout any further. We reiterate also our thanks to the members of the JAS WG for all their hard work in preparing the two Milestone Reports, and look forward to receiving its Final Report."

I don't have a problem with that, Wolf-Ulrich i.e. your insertion and deleting the reference to "on behalf of our Cs and SGs".
If I may, we can also consider deleting the last part of my draft, which means the statement will now read (with Wolf-Ulrich's suggested changes included):
"The GNSO Council wishes to reiterate its support for the work of the Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG). We unanimously believe that it is important for the new gTLD program to be globally inclusive, and to have as part of the implementation plan meaningful and workable mechanisms which will assist potential needy applicants, inter alia from developing regions of the world, participate in the first round of the new gTLD program as fully as possible.

2. The term "and on behalf of all our Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups" means (time-eating) co-ordination

How about -
"The GNSO Council wishes to reiterate its support for the work of the Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG). We unanimously, and on behalf of all our Constituencies and Stakeholder Groups, believe that it is important for the new gTLD program to be globally inclusive, and to have as part of the implementation plan meaningful and workable mechanisms which will assist potential needy applicants [WUK: ] - inter alia from developing regions of the world[WUK: ] - participate in the first round of the new gTLD program as fully as possible. We reiterate also our thanks to the members of the JAS WG for all their hard work in preparing the two Milestone Reports, and look forward to receiving its Final Report so that recommendations for ensuring equal access to the new gTLD program can be discussed and implemented."
I would suggest that, if we can, a statement such as this (tweaked as necessary) be issued to the community (including the Board and the GAC) as soon as possible :)
Cheers Mary

Given that we now have a unanimous position supporting the group's work I think Mary's original proposal was very useful as it took the content out of play and left our ongoing discussion to focus on process management issues....in this case implementation proposals rather than policy proposals....
I'd support Mary's original version

Thanks Mary,
Would you be up for drafting a proposed statement, for the Council's consideration?

In partial follow-up to Adrian's point about possible deliverables and courses of action, I'd offer the suggestion I made during today's discussion, viz., that the GNSO Council consider circulating a brief statement to the ICANN community, stating its support for the work being done by the JAS WG and reiterating the importance of the issues they are considering.

I think adding "set and bind to the timelines" would be beneficial. Or there will be always a workaround for "endless discussion".

As I discussed in the Working Session today.
The four issues based on this discussion (as I see them);
- Stephane speaking directly to the Board - Katim's email and the issues of the JAS WG o Processes within the Council - The future of Cross Community Working Groups o Publishing of reports etc - The optics of the GNSO Council and the promotion of its internal processes and representation o Multi stakeholder make up o Differing views/ differing
It would be best, I think, to try and get some deliverables and courses of action in order to promote resolution.
