<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately it will not be possible for the SCBO to re-draft this comment now. There are 48 hours until the submission deadline, and we have developed this comment over five calls and numerous conversations on our mailing list, which
has had participation from all stakeholder groups on this topic since December. This comment has not changed substantially in the two weeks that a draft has been shared on the Council's mailing list. I cannot ask SCBO members to re-draft something now as I
am aware some are offline or traveling today and/or tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was certainly under the impression that members of the SCBO had taken the comment back to their respective stakeholder group and/or constituency for feedback already, and certainly, feedback had been received and the comment re-drafted
already. This might be something that individual stakeholder groups and/or constituencies want to address with their members and/or subject matter experts on the SCBO.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That said, the comment will not be submitted if there is an objection raised by a member of the Council, and I do note that Michele has objected already.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In terms of how we move forward, if the Council had small edits, I would feel comfortable resolving these over email with the SCBO, but what we are talking about here is a re-write and removal of bullet points that the SCBO has discussed,
and I think that can't happen without a fuller contingency of SCBO members.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the Council could either prepare a fresh comment that reflects the views now being expressed, or remove the language about this comment being prepared by the SCBO and trim down the existing comment to a level where the Council is comfortable
with it.<o:p></o:p></p>

this document goes way beyond what I thought the purpose of this Standing Committee would be. I was under the impression that this group would address those things within the purview of the GNSO Council (PDP development. Full stop.) and leave other issues
to the C/SG’s. This document goes much further than that – for example, it jumps to the conclusion that the ALAC is over resourced and under representative. I’m not sure that is a Council position. In fact, I’m pretty sure that has never been in front of
any of us at the table as a matter of voting. Michele’s point about Staff and Board funding is another example.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
