As I said, this is new ground and deserves the group's thinking. Consider my efforts merely the provocation.<br>

Whereas, I am not necessarily opposed to the motion, I wonder if
the GNSO is the right place to move and develop it. As a newcomer
to the GNSO Council, I want to be clear if this is inside the pdp
remit of the council.<br>
<br>
Please advice!<br>
<br>
Yours, Klaus<br>
<br>
PS: Whereas I move, the motion should be filed under "clever ICANN
CEO's assassination attempts".<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>

leadership, shall have the opportunity to offer comment on
