[gnso-review-dt] Follow Up to Council Meeting

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

I will also likely not be able to make today’s call, but will listen to the recording when it is available, and comment on-list if I need to.

Jen…, thanks for the update regarding the OEC. I do hope this group can reach consensus on the letter on the revised recommendation 23. I suspect that consensus here would be helpful to the OEC when they make a final decision on what to do with 23. Furthermore, this not being a group chartered by the GNSO Council, I’m not confident the Council will be able to assist constructively in the absence of a clear direction provided by the working party. I very much encourage folks to work towards a draft letter that we can all live with.

Thanks again.

Amr

Also, consensus discussion on that call was to outright reject Revised Rec. 23.  I still think it’s important to get community feedback and complete our response, but it may become a moot point if they plan to reject it.

Perhaps you could at least let them know that if they’re curious about what’s being discussed but does not yet enjoy consensus can be found at http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-review-dt/msg00406.html?

We can then head into Dublin to address the response to the OEC.
