[council] Board letter to GNSO Council

[Alan Greenberg]

Two observations:

1. Since the clock started ticking on yesterday and ends on 14 
December, by the time the new Council is seated, just 6 working weeks 
will be left.
2. If this request for Council input is initially performed by a work 
group not directly mapping to Council, it will have to complete its 
work with sufficient time for the result to be formally approved by 
the GNSO reducing the effective time even more.
