Thanks Brian, Yes, let’s add that to the agenda under AOB. We may have caught Glen before she issues a slightly revised version of the agenda. If not, please do remind me in the meeting. Jonathan From: Winterfeldt, Brian J. [mailto:brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com] Sent: 02 September 2014 22:44 To: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: [council] GNSO Council - CCWG on Country and Territory Names Co-Chairs Dear Jonathan: I write to suggest that we add an agenda item under the Any Other Business timeslot for our call later this week. Now that our colleague Mr. Ching Chao represents a ccTLD, it appears that the CCWG on Country and Territory Names only has one GNSO Co-Chair, namely Ms. Heather Forrest. As I understand it, the CCWG has suggested that Mr. Chao’s Co-Chair seat be transferred to a current GNSO Council representative, although I certainly defer to ICANN staff, namely Marika, on the precise details.

Thanks Brian for bringing it up. In fact I do not represent any ccTLD but will join ccNSO Council as a NomCom appointee at the end of the LA meeting. Having said that I'll be happy if another Councilor can replace me immediately, or Heather can simply serve as the Chair from the GNSO side if it's ok.
