<DIV>Thanks Phil. And my response certainly didn’t seem “timely,” as any
work we do on this topic is already too late. :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree that at least one intercessional meeting is necessary to get this
done. I’ll work towards drafting the Pre-Christmas letter. The
Subteam (and many thanks to you, Keith & Ed for volunteering so far) should
meet early in the week of 3 JAN, with a Council-level discussion later that week
(7 JAN as you suggested), with a drop-dead formal vote on the issue scheduled
for 14 JAN. I believe this last date is already on our calendars, but I
will ask Glen to confirm.</DIV>

generally, I believe your message below captures the challenges we (and other

<P class=MsoNormal>Fellow Councilors – and especially James, Heather, and
Donna:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As I had to leave yesterday’s extended Council call a few
minutes before it concluded, I am wondering whether any structure/schedule was
agreed to for our consideration of the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> CCWG-ACCT Proposal in
our role as a Chartering Organization?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Will we be scheduling additional calls to consider key
aspects of the Proposal, especially those that elicit comments expressing
concern or suggesting modifications? How will we handle drafting of a
Resolution expressing Council’s view on behalf of the GNSO? And what is our
target date for reaching a final decision?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>For the record, I am available and willing to participate
in calls next week (suggesting that any such call be after 12/21 to allow time
for review of submitted comments) and during the first week of
January.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>From December 26-January 3<SUP>rd</SUP> I shall be on
vacation and intend to unplug from the grid to the maximum extent
possible.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>From January 9-13 I and 900-plus other members of the
domain community will be attending NamesCon and I will have limited
availability to join any call. I am departing the conference in the middle of
its last day so that I can participate in the tentatively scheduled January
14<SUP>th</SUP> Council call.<o:p></o:p></P>
