<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Dear Board Governance Committee,<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> As you may be aware, the GNSO Council has had the opportunity to review the BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3, which can be found at <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/governance/reconsideration/recommendation-ncsg-16may13-en.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:windowtext">http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/governance/reconsideration/recommendation-ncsg-16may13-en.pdf</span></a>
(Recommendation) during its regular monthly Council meeting on June 16, 2013. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Although the Council in no way intends to interfere with outcomes of Reconsideration Requests in general, some Councillors have voiced concerns with the implications of the rationale
used by the BGC in support of the Recommendation.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> These concerns were expressed during the Council call and on the Council mailing list and centre around the perceived potential impact of the Recommendation on the GNSO and
more broadly, the bottom-up, multi-stakeholder model.<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> We therefore respectfully ask the BGC to thoroughly review the rationale of the Reconsideration Request and consider deferral of the publication of the rationale
until such time that a more complete discussion on this matter can take place with the community in July at the ICANN meeting in Durban.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><br>
Sincerely,<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
