<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The GNSO Council has adopted the practice of providing feedback to the ICANN Board on matters pertaining to gTLD policy, where the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) has included advice on such matters
as part of a GAC Communique issued at each ICANN Public Meeting. Following the issuance of the GAC Abu Dhabi Communique (<a href="https://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/public/gac-60-abu-dhabi-communique.pdf">https://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/public/gac-60-abu-dhabi-communique.pdf</a>),
a team of Councilors and the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC agreed to prepare an initial draft of possible GNSO Council input to the Board for Council consideration. This draft was circulated to the Council mailing list on 20 Nov 2017 (<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-21nov17-en.pdf">https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-21nov17-en.pdf</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
