Subject: Re: [council] GNSO Council letter to the GAC


Hi,

With this I am starting a  48 hour last call on this letter.

a, If there are no substantive comments before 0900 UTC on Thursday 14  
May, I will submit this as a letter from the GNSO Council.

b. If there are substantive comments that result in changes then 12  
hours will be added on to the open call for review of the changes.

c. Should there still be unresolvable substantive comments o Friday,  
then the letter will not be able to go as a note from the GNSO  
council, but still may be able to go with specific people/ 
constituencies as signatories.

Thanks Stéphane for taking the lead.

a.
