<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Not unexpectedly, I have some questions, which I have listed below. (I am copying Kurt in the event that he or other ICANN staff is best placed to answer them.):</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. If the Board has sent the GNSO Council a letter that provides any further information, detail, instruction, or the like on this consultation, would someone please post that letter to this list?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. If the Board has not yet sent such letter, does it still intend to do so?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3. If the Board does not intend to send such a letter, will it provide guidance/clarification to the GNSO as to:</FONT>
<BR>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">i) How will consensus be measured? A Council vote? Number of public comments? Number of signatories to public comments? Other (and, if so, what)?</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ii) What constitutes "consensus"? Unanimity? If not, what?</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">iii) What is the default? In other words, what action will the Board take if the GNSO is unable to reach consensus?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4. If the Board will not/does not intend to provide guidance/clarifications on the points noted in 3(i)-(iii), who makes those decisions?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It would be most helpful if answers to these questions/responses to these requests could be provided before or during our 8 October Council meeting.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Many thanks.</FONT>
