<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Several statements were made during the GAC-GNSO meeting that just concluded, concerning my role and participation in the IGO small group discussions. I would like to let you know that I was only brought into
the discussions after the group was formed, to provide subject matter expertise and process advice concerning the GNSO and its work. At no time did I participate other than as a staff facilitator – and I did not hold myself out as a representative of the GNSO,
or as having any authority to negotiate on behalf of the GNSO Council or the GNSO community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
