[council] Summary for New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting

[Mawaki Chango]

Denise,

I would hope this issue can be addressed before LA so that the
summary that will then be circulated reflect as accurately as
possible the intent of the council. For practical reasons,
chances are that the larger public will eventually rely on the
summary more than the original, and we wouldn't want to send a
misleading message.
Thanks,

Mawaki
