[council] Re: Letter to GAC and ccNSO re Consumer metrics

[Stéphane Van Gelder]

Hi Rosemary,

Thanks for your request. I am copying the Council on my response because I think this is a discussion we should all be having.

Let me start by saying how much I appreciate your efforts as leader of the GNSO Council's Consumer metrics initiative. I'm sure all Councillors feel the same way.

What I am not sure of, however, is that all would feel comfortable with me sending the letter you have drafted as-is. My understanding is that we as a Council have yet to determine whether we are comfortable with moving this ahead as a cross-community effort.

My own personal view is that the letter as drafted could be misconstrued as a call for cross-community work. I am not saying whether this is a good or bad thing, but as there has been considerable debate on this over the past few months, I would not feel comfortable in sending such a letter in my capacity as Chair unless I know the Council supports that move.

So may I ask for comments on the proposed letter? Is everyone OK with me sending it as-is?

Thanks.

Stéphane
