<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><br>
</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>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again—</div>

also happens to collide with year-end holidays. My availability is similar to yours, NamesCon included, and from talking with Marika I think we should expect reduced support from Staff as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> — The GNSO, as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG, was unlikely to submit any formal comments by 21 DEC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> — Several SGs and Cs within the GNSO Community would, however, submit their comments by Monday. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

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).<o:p></o:p></span></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>
