<p class="MsoNormal">sorry for missing the call last Thursday. Here are my personal suggestions to the issues that a focused letter should raise to the board before their meeting with the GAC based on comments of the drafting team so far:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="gmail-p1"><span class="gmail-s1">1. In the case of the Red Cross et. al., the Copenhagen mediation by a former Board member made a clear Board resolution possible! The GNSO council looks forward to a revision of the policy based on this resolution,
as the international law basis for the Red Cross <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__et.al&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=TseDXXOR-59M_1ncIXDZ4zK87ZZC-IzNhROgv_QtNkI&s=NB1B4pDwoNZGVxDt4TGRbbQAnE7dzTh4IBWeXfWRU4w&e=">
et.al[et.al]</a>. can be considered rather homogeneous.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p1"><span class="gmail-s1">2. In the case to the IGOs, The GNSO’s IGO-INGO Curative Rights Policy Development Process Working Group is actively reviewing all comments received on its Initial Report, including the comment submitted by the GAC.
It remains clear from the mediation efforts during the Copenhagen meeting, that there is still the expectation in the Council that the Boards owes the GNSO community a clear resolution to direct future efforts in an efficient way forward, as was the case with
the Red Cross <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__et.al&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=TseDXXOR-59M_1ncIXDZ4zK87ZZC-IzNhROgv_QtNkI&s=NB1B4pDwoNZGVxDt4TGRbbQAnE7dzTh4IBWeXfWRU4w&e=">
et.al[et.al]</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p1"><span class="gmail-s1">3. In the case of the delegation of 2-letter codes, some members of the Council will like to raise serious concerns to the Board, of the impact that bilateral case by case resolution with Governments could have on
the principle of bottom-up policy development of ICANN. Instead of developing a consensus position that all GAC members have agreed with, the Consensus Advice mechanism found in the bylaws is being circumvented to order the ICANN Board to negotiate with, and
presumably reach agreement on, each government’s individual demands. This should not be considered proper “Consensus Advice”, but could rather be considered an attempt to circumvent the very clear threshold for the GAC to issue “Consensus Advice”.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-p1"><span class="gmail-s1">4. In the case of the Mitigation of the DNS abuse, the GNSO Council refers to its input to the Board regarding the GAC’s Hyderabad Communique on this topic, and reiterates the concerns it stated in that response:
