<DIV></DIV>Hi
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Glen asked for the final letter with the two amendments agreed yesterday
inserted for posting, and as I looked at it I realized that we passed a motion
accepting a letter that still has a non-agreed item in brackets:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>[This sentence has been suggested but there is not consensus in the
drafting team, so TBD: “It might also be noted that GNSO registrants pay
fees that fund well over 90% of ICANN's activities.”]</DIV>

<DIV>Sorry, missed that. So what do we do?</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Sorry, the idea of alternates was raised on the call but
nobody really argued that we should definitely propose this, and one can
readily imagine objections to/issues with the approach. Moreover,
if there were alternates, one could argue (not persuasively, but
still...) that this makes the need for multiple GNSO participants less
important. So the wording was intended to put the idea on the
table as something that might be considered without implying it might be
a substitute for multiple slots. If people think it doesn't work
and it'd be better to make it a stand-alone recommendation, we can do
that, let me know.</DIV>

active participants, so putting people into mutually exclusive boxes
doesn't work and such language can be viewed as murky from some
