<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As I previously replied to Paul, I don’t know if Petter and I can have other WG members on this call , seeing as it is envisioned for a small group and that
will encourage a full and frank discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But I do think we should work with staff to provide a full report, as well as an analysis for how the discussion may impact the task of this WG, as soon after
the call as practicable -- and schedule our next WG meeting shortly thereafter. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Beyond that, I want all WG members to know that on this morning’s monthly GNSO Council call I raised the issue of the OECD letter during the concluding portion
of the meeting and put Council on notice that this WG was stuck in place due to lack of access to expert legal advice -- and that any “comprehensive solution” on IGO protections proposed to be put together by the Board, GAC and IC ANN staff that addressed
the CRP/second level issueraised serious process/policy development issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Let’s see what happens on the call and what staff can advise us in the next week or two on prospects for securing that expert input. If circumstances dictate
we may just have to take it upon ourselves to research the sovereign immunity scope question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Finally, in advance of the call – and we are awaiting word on when that will take place – it might be useful if WG members came together on a few points that
they want Petter and I to emphasize when we engage in that discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

or early August. We are informed that the “small group” meeting between representatives of the IGO coalition and ICANN Board members was a positive one, and that an updated proposal is likely to be forwarded to the GAC and the GNSO for their review and action
by September. This is in line with the GAC’s Buenos Aires Communique and the objectives of the “small group” process when it was formed to discuss the initial March 2014 proposal from the Board’s New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC).</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The
