<div>Hi Paul -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Off the cuff, I have some concerns about Council going further than official positions by the SGs/Cs. Most individuals or organizations have some affiliation with the GNSO, and it would be difficult to make a clear distinction. The risks of us referencing
one comment, while leaving out one from an equivalent person or group (even if due to error) could be seen as Council endorsement. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, consider the scenario where there are significant differences between the position of a commenter versus their respective SG/C. If the RrSG comments in favor of chocolate ice cream, but comments from GoDaddy favor vanilla, then by including both
the Council could be perceived as undermining the consensus-building processes within that SG/C. In this case, the IPC & NTIA comments are probably aligned, but absent an analysis from Staff, we should be cautious about inserting ourselves in to any position
differences.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand your intention to present a list that is as comprehensive as possible, but I’m concerned that there’s no way to do so in a fair an equitable manner, and especially without creating precedent for future comments. But I’d welcome thoughts from
other Councilors on this point.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks—</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>J.</div>
