</div>
<div>I am on this working Group and we have a call tomorrow (Friday) with the GAC to tell them about our progress. This will be a topic in Costa Rica as well.</div>

the GNSO Council with respect to the September 2011 GAC proposal on permanently protecting the Olympic and Red Cross names at the top and second levels for new gTLDs. Although this report was shared with the members of the Drafting Team, it was drafted by
me as the Chair, and as such is not an official report from the Drafting Team. It represents the Chair’s current understanding of the discussions of the Drafting Team. Each of the recommendations addressed in this report are still under review by the GNSO
Community. We are providing this report to assist in the discussions between the Drafting Team, interested GNSO Councilors and GAC members on March 2, 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a productive call this Friday as well as in Costa Rica at the ICANN meeting. <o:p>
