<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. I would like to add something at either agenda or AOB of the next GNSO Council meeting: an episode where ICANN staff deliberately guided applicants into not allowing a GNSO PDP WG to access information that was supposed to be public
in the first place, by using a non-neutral language that described public information as "not foreseen to be published".
