<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'">Dear Peter,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'"></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'">We understand that ALAC
has forwarded to the Board the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support Working
Group (JAS WG)'s Second Milestone Report. As the other chartering organization
of the JAS WG, the GNSO Council notes that it has not yet approved the Report.
A motion to do this was proposed at our May 19 teleconference and tabled until
our next meeting, on June 9.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'">I will therefore look to
get back to you after this meeting to provide you with an update on the GNSO
Council's decision re the JAS report.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'">In light of false
information that has been circulated on the matter, the GNSO Council would
also like to confirm that the JAS WG simultaneously submitted its Report to
ALAC and the GNSO for review.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: 'Segoe UI'">I would be grateful if
you could convey the GNSO Council's message to the Board.</DIV>

the content of the message as stated, please say so by COB tonight so that I
can send the message tomorrow as planned.</DIV>

This is should eliminate the NC opposition to a letter (haven't asked,
but believe
so).<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
