<p class="MsoNormal">If you are reading the transcript, be aware that it does not appear to have been reviewed for accuracy and as a result some of the text reads a little peculiarly. The adobe connect recording also makes it easier to follow as the conversation
is following a document prepared by the Board before the call.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s clear from the discussion that some in the GAC were aware of the GNSO Council response to the communique, but the Board wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></p>
