<div>Actually, I don’t think that it is too much to ask the GAC to provide a reason for its Advice. It need not disclose truly private information – but without a basic explanation, how can ICANN enter into a reasonable discussion to arrive at a mutually agreeable
solution? And how can members of the community understand whether or not there is a way to address the GAC concerns. </div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Dear WP2 colleagues,<br>
<br>
I want to thank all of you for trying very hard to find agreement on all these topics. I appreciate how everyone is keeping an open mind.
<br>
<br>
I may have missed this in the discussions but what is the rationale for inserting the words "within their respective jurisdictions" in Core Value 7 (ex-11). I remember we had some pushback on this in Paris.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt" type="cite"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">While remaining rooted in the [private sector], including business stakeholders, civil society, the technical community, and academia, recognizing that governments and public
authorities are responsible for public policy <u>within their respective jurisdictions</u> and duly taking into account the public policy advice of governments and public authorities </span><o:p></o:p></div>
</blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"><br>
The proposed addition in Article XI of the sentence below is also attracting some pushback.
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt" type="cite"><div class="MsoNormal">or where the Advisory Committee has not explained the specific reason(s) for its advice.<o:p></o:p></div>
</blockquote><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">My personal view is that it may not be most appropriate to have this criteria in the same sentence and at the same level as "not exceeding the Mission".
<br>
<br>
I also wonder whether we could find ATRT agreed language on the provision of rationales in support of advice. It seemed to me that these reviews had contributed to significant improvements in that regard and the use of "agreed language" often helps when time
is short. <br>
<br>
Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
