Hello Marika,<br>
my previous message to the Council list did not go through. May I
therefore ask you to send this to the list? Larry Strickling has
confirmed receipt of this note. <br>

Dear Larry,<br>
I hope this e-mail finds you well.<br>
<br>
A GNSO Councillor pointed out to me that the statements made by
some groups in the GNSO have not been referenced to in the letter
from the Board to NTIA. I have therefore included our letter to
the ICANN Board in this e-mail below. This letter includes links
to the responses we got from the Chartering Organizations and
those include links to the statements. I would add that there is
an expectation from those that made the statements that these will
be passed on to Congress with the proposal.<br>
<br>
May I kindly ask you to confirm receipt of this message?<br>
<br>
Thank you and kind regards,<br>
Thomas <br>
