[council] Issue for IDN discussion

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I guess that is a good question:  Is the GNSO council, or the GNSO  
itself,  supportive of the fast track as it has been laid out in the  
charter?

Since the council is currently in the position of picking 2  
representatives for the IDNC, we need to determine to what degree  
they can support the IDNC's fast track's goals.
