All -- In my capacity as liaison between the GNSO and the GAC, I submitted on December 2 this WG's clarifying questions regarding the disparity between the WG's charter and the GAC's Los Angeles advice. The questions were sent to Suzanne Radell, Mark Carvell and Thomas Schneider of the GAC, who collectively have taken the lead on this issue within the GAC. I've been advised by Suzanne that they've been received and the GAC is expecting a briefing from her regarding the issue in order to take up their deliberations and hopefully answer these questions. They're also looking into a small group of IGOs who they could task to take up the issue. I took the liberty of advising Suzanne that the WG would likely welcome a discussion with IGOs as an agenda item during one of the WG meetings and that I would seek to arrange it were that agreeable. I will let you know what I hear back. Please let me know if you have questions in the meantime.
