Dear Amy, I am happy with the text of the letter. Regards, Tomslin On Thu., 4 Feb. 2021, 10:34 Amy Creamer, <amy.creamer@icann.org> wrote:

Hi Fred and Tomslin,

Because Recommendation 4 requires an amendment to the IANA Naming Function Contract, the Bylaws require that the GNSO & ccNSO Councils approve it. This was actually built into our workplan from the beginning, but after some internal discussions I’ve discovered we can seek their approval before the Public Comment completes (I had originally planned on handling this after the Public Comment).

So I have drafted a letter on your behalf and had Sam from Legal check it over. If you are able to review it and provide any comments, I will get it sent in time for the Councils to add it to their February meeting agendas (by working with Bart and Steve on the Policy team to coordinate this).

I have attached it, or you can review the Google Doc version here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fbkLZmhf0d95STMeNqqYRZHJHOMn1Z2s/edit#
