 substance of the statement reads well, and I personally support the statement as currently drafted (including Jonathan and James’ proposed edits, as well as the clean-up edits noted by Phil Corwin), which makes clear, as it should, that the statement is coming
 from the Council and not the GNSO itself.  I shared the statement with IPC members, some of whom have expressed support, and none of whom have expressed opposition.

 on its own behalf, the Council appropriately refers the statement to constituencies and SGs. A secondary benefit of reviewing the statement is the ongoing raising of the awareness of the current status of the work of the CWG within the GNSO community such
 that the GNSO community is in a state of readiness to appraise (and ideally support) the final proposal of the CWG when it does come out.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
