In the letter, the WG requests that the Council agree to ask Mason Cole (GAC-GNSO liaison) to engage with the GAC in order to resolve certain questions arising from the GAC’s Los Angeles Communique. The specific questions that the WG is suggesting for such engagement are contained in the attached letter.</div><div><br></div><div>As the WG was able only to discuss and finalize the request at their meeting this week, this is the earliest opportunity that it has had to send the letter to you. I note with gratitude that Jonathan, Marika and Glen have kindly allotted a slot under “AOB” on the agenda of the forthcoming GNSO Council meeting for discussion of this matter; however, as the WG would very much like to pursue early engagement with the GAC as soon as possible, it is their hope that the Council will be able to begin discussing their request upon receipt of this letter.</div><div><br></div><div>Should the Council require any further information or background, staff supporting the WG (Steve Chan and me), Mason (who is also a member of the WG and participated in the WG’s discussion of this request) and, of course, Phil and Petter, will be very glad to oblige. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and cheers</div><div>Mary</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Mary Wong</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Senior Policy Director</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN)</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Telephone: +1 603 574 4892</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Email: <a href="mailto:mary.wong@icann.org">mary.wong@icann.org</a></font></font></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><div><br></div><br></div></div></div></blockquote></span></body></html>
