<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px"><div><span style="font-size:14px;">Hi Wolf-Ulrich,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?I'm very happy to work with you and others on the language. I've learned over the past week that James is a master wordsmith; perhaps he has an idea as to how to improve the language.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?I take "overall" to mean "all things considered", as in 'after considering all inputs' the GNSO...</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?Thanks for clarifying - I'm sure we can find some language that will be clearer both to yourself and to many others for whom this may be confusing. It's great you picked this up, we're looking for clarity and accuracy here for everyone.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thanks,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ed</span></div>

<div>Hi Ed,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>as you implicitly express the accurate wording here is important. And I, too, like to see and understand the statement reflecting accurately the GNSO’s status.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">Maybe it’s just an issue of how I understand the word “overall” with my limited English. To me it means “covering or including all and everything”. If this is the meaning then “overall” is misplaced here.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">How about “broadly” or “at large”.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">I’m sure English natives are inventive to find something where we can all agree on. So calling for a vote on just this recommendation might not help us to make progress.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000"> </div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">Best regards<br />
