Thanks for circulating this James. I agree with Phil's recent comments, but I attach a markup version of both documents. I have circulated them to the NCSG, but I think it is fair to say there are divergent views on this topic, so these are my own personal comments. As I have expressed, I think we are rushing into a complex area here and I do hope that once Akram comes up with a draft, there will be ample opportunity to discuss and refine the document.
Kind regards

Council Colleagues -

As discussed during yesterday’s call, we intend to send a high-level letter to ICANN (Akram) on behalf of the GNSO Council, thanking him for his blog post and drawing his attention to statement from the NCUC and the draft policy created by Jennifer and others. (On this latter point, I’ve edited the Key Points document to reflect the most recent comments on the thread).

If you have any comments or edits to the letter or “Key Points” document, please post these to the list by EOD Monday, 18 APR. Edits could include changes/additions to the language, as well as inclusion of other materials or links to statements from other groups.

The target is to post this letter by Tuesday, 19 APR.

Thanks—

J.
