Dear BC Members<div><br></div><div>I am noting below, for your information, the exchange of letters between the GAC and ICANN. </div><div>Since ICANN's letter in response addresses the overarching issues, I am calling this to everyone's attention.</div><div><br></div><div>The comments about the incomplete economic study are particularly ... disappointing on the part of the Board Chair, and apparently on the part of the Board. </div><div><br></div><div>I know Philip and I participated in the Cross WG on controversial names -- Recommendation 6 Working Group -- and I may have overlooked other members who were actively engaged. I commend both letters to your attention. The outcome there seems okay, in terms of BC members broader interests. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd recommend reviewing both. It will prepare you for exchanges in Cartagena.</div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn Cade</div><div>BC Chair</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><br style="text-indent: 0px !important; "></div><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; ">GAC letter of Nov 22 (<a href="http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dryden-to-dengate-thrush-22nov10-en.pdf" target="_blank" style="text-indent: 0px !important; ">http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dryden-to-dengate-thrush-22nov10-en.pdf</a>) </div><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; ">ICANN letter in response (<a href="http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dengate-thrush-to-dryden-23nov10-en.pdf" target="_blank" style="text-indent: 0px !important; ">http://icann.org/en/correspondence/dengate-thrush-to-dryden-23nov10-en.pdf</a>), </div><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><br style="text-indent: 0px !important; "></div><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px !important; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px !important; font-size: 12px; "><div style="text-indent: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Gill Sans'; "><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px !important; font-size: medium; "><font class="ecxApple-style-span" size="3" style="text-indent: 0px !important; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px !important; font-size: 11px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-indent: 0px !important; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; "></span></span></font></span></font></div></span></span></span></div></div></div></div> </body>
