Under what circumstances could an AC make "every effort" and still fail to provide a rationale? If an AC makes "every effort" to develop a rationale and still fails, what does that tell us about the recommendation? That no rational support can be found for it? That the AC can agree on the result but not the rationale? That the AC would rather not state the rationale?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">For those who say that the GAC already offers rationales for their recommendations -- if those rationales were considered satisfactory, this issue would not have been raised in the first place. If necessary, we can go back to specific items of advice, and the rationales or lack thereof; but I don't know that we have the time to engage in such an exercise. For one, I recall that in the .africa IRP concerns were raised about the lack of a sufficiently-stated rationale. If the GAC is looking for greater parity with GNSO PDP policy recommendations, the documentation accompanying those recommendations should serve as a guide.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It is heartening to hear that the GAC is already working on improving their communication the rationales for their advice.
