From my GNSO council experience with the GAC I didn’t expect a different answer – I’m even more happy having received any GAC answer.
If there is a F2F WG meeting planned in Singapore I’d suggest to invite the GAC members who have been asked to answer the questionnaire.
 
I’m really sorry that today I have to miss the call again. My apologies! It’s not because of the carnaval season in our region.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Dear Working Group members,
Please find below the response from Olof Nordling, ICANN Senior Director GAC Relations, with regard to the WG's request to meet with the GAC in Singapore. Spoiler alert: It's not good news. It might be useful at this stage for the Chairs (or staff if you wish so) to re-send the input request to the individual GAC members that were contacted and have not yet replied as this might be at this stage the most promising way to gather at least some input from some of the GAC members.
Best wishes,
Lars

Dear Lars,

Thank you for your kind request from the WG on Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information for input from the GAC and for a meeting in Singapore.

This has been brought to the GAC Chair’s attention. On her behalf I must inform you that, in view of the time available and the current number of priority matters to address by the GAC where a joint position is essential, any joint response by the GAC to the questions raised cannot realistically be foreseen. Nor does the time allow for a separate meeting with the WG in Singapore.

Very best regards

Olof
