<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I know this letter uses the term GNSO Council Liaison, but if I recall correctly, the Liaison does NOT need to be a GNSO Councilor. According to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The ODP does not require the liaison to be a member of the GNSO Council. The liaison will serve as the primary contact between ICANN org’s ODP team and the GNSO Council on questions pertaining to the substance or intent of the GNSO Council
recommendations. The liaison is expected to keep the GNSO Council informed about their engagement with ICANN org on these questions and should be empowered to conve\ relevant information from the GNSO Council to the ODP team.”<o:p></o:p></p>
