Thank you Giovanni. Please note that GNSO Council is in receipt of a letter from Xavier regarding the issue that has been addressed on this list in relation to the CCWG Final Report Recommendation to the Board to amend the ByLaws to protect grants from being overturned using the Accountability mechanisms. In this regard, not much discussion has occurred on this list since Erika sent an email stating that the Co-Chairs of the CCWG support the Final Recommendation as previously adopted by the Board to amend the ByLaws. A status update to this list and to those copied would be appreciated. The GNSO Council had sent a letter stating that any alternate solution varying the Final Report should have the approval of all CCWG Chartering Organizations. This is because Chartering Organization approval of CCWG Final Recommendations is a Fundamental Principle of the CCWG Working Group guidelines. The response to the GNSO Council contained in the most recent letter from Xavier will be under discussion as an agenda item at the next GNSO Council meeting. (Please note Council members are copied on this email.) A hybrid solution has been proposed on this list, whereby the first $10M could be granted in a timely manner with a ByLaws amendment process to be followed for the next and subsequent grant application rounds. We look forward to hearing from ICANN in relation to this alternative proposal from some of the former members of the CCWG. (Raising this suggestion on the list should not in any way be interpreted as agreement by the GNSO Council to that proposal.)
