Thanks, Jonathan.  I recommend that we, the Council, discuss in advance of our meeting with the Board to get our “ducks in a row” on this issue, and ensure that we are speaking with one voice (if possible).

Generally, and while I’m trying not to sound alarmist, I am concerned that the legitimacy of the PDP process, and even the GNSO itself, is being called to question on this issue.  We should discuss with our SGs and come to London prepared with our questions & feedback, as well as outline potential response options.

Thanks again for keeping this on the front burner.

J.

Thanks James & Maria,

 

Noted.  We have a lengthy slot on Saturday to discuss substantial issues as well as our session with the Board.

 

I expect that this issue can be well aired then and it is also likely to be on our agenda for the public GNSO Council meeting on Wednesday.

 

Jonathan

This indeed very concerning - a further extension of supra-legal 'rights' using the TMCH, itself a deeply problematic mechanism created in inequitable circumstances.

I also hope that sufficient time will be allocated at our meeting to discuss this issue.

Hi James,

 

We'll get the letter posted on the GNSO correspondence page. Please note that in the meantime it is also available from the Council mailing list archives (http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/pdfJhQNX8whn3.pdf). 

 

Best regards,

Jonathan and fellow Councilors:

 

This is a concerning development, and I hope we will have ample space on our agenda to discuss in London.  Question:  Will this letter be published on the GNSO/ICANN correspondence page in advance of the weekend sessions?

 

Thanks—

 

J.
