Thanks James and team,
 
if you could make available the findings before the upcoming weekend this would be very helpful with respect to the timely coordination within the SGs/C’s.

Best regards

Subject: [council] Motion for GNSO Consideration of the CCWG Accountability Third Draft Report
 
Colleagues -
 
Attached and copied below, please find a Motion for consideration during our special session on 14 JAN to consider the Recommendations contained in the Third Draft CCWG-Accountability report.  The small sub team reviewing comments submitted by SGs and Cs met today, and finalization of the findings/comments contained in the motion will be completed between now and our meeting.
 
Please note that on todays call we also raised the possibility that a GNSO response might be more informal (e.g., letter) rather than a formal motion.  This will also be part of our discussion on the 14th, but I wanted to have the motion submitted to the list in the event that we choose this approach.
 
Thanks—
 
J.
