24 DEC). And next, that we form a subteam (me and any other volunteers) to review submitted comments and draft a formal GNSO position for review by the Council (target: 7 JAN).</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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?</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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?</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
