<DIV>Hi Paul -</DIV>
<DIV> </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> </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> </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> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks—</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>J.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">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></SPAN></P>

out of the public comment after it closes]<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">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></SPAN></P>
