<DIV>Hi Paul -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for kicking this off. Generally, I’m good with this
letter. A few questions/comments:</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Given the compressed timeline, can we ask Staff to confirm whether or not
the Drafting Team will have an opportunity to amend the proposed bylaws before
submitting to the Board? I’m assuming they will, but…
<LI>Should we also cc: the Board and/or CCWG Co-Chairs? (hedge)
<LI>With the Comment Period now closed, could we task someone from Policy
Staff to assist Paul in gathering links to GNSO comments?
<LI>The Board is meeting this week to consider the draft bylaws. It is
therefore imperative that we move quickly to get this sent. Councilors,
please send edits/comments/concerns by EOD (Pacific) Monday to ensure that
this is posted overnight Tuesday.</LI></UL>
<DIV>Thanks again—</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>J.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>On our last call, I volunteered t draft a short letter from
James to the Bylaws Drafting Team. Here is the proposed body of that
letter to be kicked around the Council list:<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Dear Bylaws Drafting Team:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The GNSO Council thanks you for your efforts in attempting to
distill the instructions found in the CCWG-Accountability Report into a revised
version of ICANN’s Bylaws. We note that the draft Bylaws have generated
significant public comment from members of the GNSO community. These
include:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>[Paul McGrady to pull these links out of the public comment
after it closes]<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We ask you to carefully review each of these comments and
give them serious consideration. It is important that the revised Bylaws
remain faithful to the CCWG-Accountability Report on which we, as a Council,
were called upon to vote in Marrakech. We are fully at your disposal
should you wish to consult us on any issue raised in the comments generated by
the GNSO community.<o:p></o:p></P>
