<font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">Thanks, Stephane and Chuck - that is definitely helpful and clearer, especially with Chuck's other comments from the Registries SG call regarding the particularity and narrow focus of this particular process. Just one additional point then - with the limited time between the Friday call and our Costa Rica meeting, the public comment period will inevitably be short, so setting up a public comment forum and/or email address for receiving public comments should be done pronto.</font> </p>

<font face="Lucida Grande"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande">As many of you know, I definitely support a closer, better and more responsive working relationship with the GAC; however, even leaving aside issues with the process by which this particular issue came to the table and has now to be resolved, I remain concerned about ad-hoc work under the heading of "implementation" that isn't so much a natural follow-up to the GNSO's own policy recommendations (i.e. in this case the 2007 report on new gTLDs) but which could change or conflict with them. I know this issue was raised during this particular DT's discussions, as was the issue of precedent-setting, so I'm glad we're watchful for these risks. This might, however, buttress the argument that at the very least, a public comment be instituted prior to any vote/action.</span></font><o p="#DEFAULT"></o> </p>

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.</span></SPAN><o p="#DEFAULT"></o> </p>
