From the WG’s perspective, at this point he’s more of an “official envoy” than a representative of anyone’s substantive views on the matter, since the WG still needs to work through the substantive questions, hopefully with more helpful input coming back from the GAC. </div><div><br></div><div>The WG will be requesting that an agenda item on the next Council meeting be given over to Mason, to provide an update on the WG’s work (and decisions) to date as well as any progress with the GAC. As Susan is the new Council liaison to this WG, perhaps she and Mason can work together on the update, and if she is willing she can also be on hand to assist Mason should he reach a point in his interaction with the GAC where that would in his view be helpful?</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>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: mary.wong@icann.org</font></font></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> "James M.

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
