WG members: Attached is a third and hopefully final draft of the letter to Council that substitutes Mason's proposed language at the final bullet point. I believe that we have consensus on this language - so please only reply if you have concerns, suggested modifications, or objections to it. Mary, unless we get further feedback by late today then please make this the final version and transmit it to the Council tomorrow morning (use the clean version and after striking the "DRAFT#3-FOR DISCUSSION ONLY" notation on page 1 please check the final formatting so that Attachments A & B start at the top of page - thanks).

Further, in opposing such amendments, does the GAC thus advise the GNSO to preclude any possible change to its "Mutual Jurisdiction" provisions to address specific sovereign immunity concerns of IGOs? Finally, if it is the GAC's position that an entirely new curative rights mechanism must be created, is it the GAC's understanding that the protections afforded to qualifying IGOs under Article 6ter of the Paris Convention would be the criteria for establishing standing under any dispute resolution procedure that may apply to IGOs?
