[council] GNSO Council letter to the GAC

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

When we have done this before it is their capacity as a member of  
council.  That means different things to different councilors.

But it goes out, assuming there is no blocking objection, as a letter  
from the GNSO Council and not from the GNSO. So there is no  
implication that the constituencies were brought in.
