<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I regret that I was not able to be
present during the call last week, but I support the original
draft as proposed, without the rewording. The issue of the role of
the GNSO and the GNSO council with regard to board and staff
decisions is too important to be watered down. We must on the
council level rise to the defense of the multi-stakeholder model,
otherwise it will become a fig leave solely for the purpose of
legitimizing the role of ICANN. ICANN continues to defend its role
in public by proclaiming the multi-stakeholder model, but if it
internally works to dismantle it, it will play into the hands of
those that prefer another model.<br>

Best regards,<br>
<br>

the Council in no way intends to interfere with outcomes of
Reconsideration Requests in general, we have some key
concerns with the implications of the rationale used by the
BGC in support of the Recommendation. These concerns were
expressed during the Council call and on the Council mailing

the Recommendation on the GNSO and more broadly, the
bottom-up, multi-stakeholder model.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is beyond the scope of this Recommendation to consider

this note makes more of what happened than I heard.
In as much as it was an open discussion, we didn't
hear from all and we certainly took no votes, either
on a proposal, motion or sense of the Council.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">It is true that
the Board committee's decision has sparked a bit of a
controversy (the transcript of the meeting shows
that), but there is no basis for any "ask," except
perhaps that the full Board draw its own conclusion as
to whether the decision undermines the community as
has been suggested. Asking for this to be on our
joint meeting agenda for Durban is totally within our
purview, too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the GNSO Council had the opportunity to review the
BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request
13-3, which can be found at

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"
lang="EN-GB">Although the Council in no way
intends to interfere with outcomes of
Reconsideration Requests in general, we have some
key concerns with the implications of the
rationale used by the BGC in support of the
Recommendation. These concerns were expressed
during the Council call and on the Council mailing
list and centered around the perceived potential
impact of the Recommendation on the GNSO and more
broadly, the bottom-up, multi-stakeholder model.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"
lang="EN-GB"> We therefore
respectfully ask the BGC to withdraw the arguments
used to support the ultimate rejection of the
Reconsideration Request, and replace the rationale
with something more in line with the scope of
Reconsideration Requests as outlined in the ICANN
Bylaws. In addition, we ask that we continue the
dialogue on the this particular matter in July at
the ICANN meeting in Durban.</span><span
