> Thank you for following up on this.  My expectation was that ATRT 2 support staff would look up the senior officials associated with the ministry or regulator providing representation to the GAC and issue the letters with a cc to the GAC representative.  As this appears to not be possible?, and in the interests of moving ahead, I suggest the following:
> 
> - GAC support will circulate the non-addressed letter to the GAC email list, with an explanation that a letter can be sent to the direct attention of the appropriate senior official responsible for ICANN matters and requesting that contact information for the senior official be sent to the GAC support email (gacsec at gac.icann.org); GAC support will forward the name and contact info. received to ATRT 2 support, who will be responsible for sending the individual, addressed letters to senior officials
> - GAC support will also post the non-addressed letter to the GAC website and include in the GAC Durban meeting materials
> - GAC support will send a targeted letter to active regional orgs in the GAC ex) African Union Commission with a short covering email requesting circulation of the letter to the attention of their members and highlighting the importance of the ATRT 2's work
> 
> Government members of the ATRT 2 and ICANN engagement staff can be effective in generating responses from governments by raising in bilaterals and other meetings (kudos to Fiona Asonga for raising at AFRINIC and sensitising African colleagues to the ATRT and Affirmation of Commitments!).  I hope these efforts will continue as I do not believe a letter on its own will have sufficient impact.

> In order to make the ATRT2's outreach letter to governments effective, it is essential that the letter be addressed to the appropriate government official.  Heather Dryden, Chair of the GAC has offered GAC resources to provide contact information for GAC member countries.  While that information is helpful, in many instances we still do not have the name of the relevant government official/Minister to whom the letter should be addressed.
> 
> To expedite the outreach letter, we may need additional resources from the GAC and from ICANN's Government Engagement team to supplement the list.  Heather, would a request that each GAC representative provide the name of the relevant Minister and his/her email address be practical and fruitful?  Additionally, could ICANN's Government Engagement team provide or direct ICANN staff to additional resources that could supplement the list of addresses?  We are open to suggestions as to how to expedite this important task.  The Review Team would like to send the outreach letters by 1 July at the latest.
