sure thing.<br>
<br>
I am assuming that even with these abstentions, this is still worth <br>
sending. Those of you who haven't abstained, please let the list
know <br>
if this assumption is in error in the next few hours.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Dear Janis,<br>
<br>
Attached please find a letter from the GNSO Council written in <br>
response to your opem letter of April 24 2009 to the ICANN CEO.
This <br>
communication has been approved by the GNSO Council with the noted <br>
abstention of the Commercial and Business Constituency, Internet <br>
Service Providers and Connectivity Providers<br>
Constituency, and of Kristina Rosette. Additionally Mary Wong, as
an <br>
active participant in the Implementation Recommendation Team (IRT), <br>
felt that support of this document at this time might be inconsistent <br>
with her work as part of the IRT and has also abstained.<br>
<br>
Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for accepting our comment <br>
at this time. The GNSO Council looks forward to discussing the issue
<br>
with the GAC at our joint meeting in Sydney.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
