[council] Some comments on the draft initial letter to the GAC

[Winterfeldt, Brian]

Dear all:

I am fine with Jonathan’s draft letter as well as John’s proposed stylistic changes.

I think best intentions goes without saying and might suggest amending the final paragraph as follows. “In the meantime, please be assured of the GNSO Council’s best intentions as well as our appreciation of the critical role played by the GAC within the ICANN multi-stakeholder model.”  Also, the GAC may be unclear on what is meant by “the leadership team of the GNSO Council.”  Why not just say, “we”?

I hope that input is helpful.

Best regards,

Brian

Jonathan,

It seems as if I may have too much time on my hands -- I have made some suggestions of tone (I think) to the draft you proposed.  Choose or ignore as you see fit.

Cheers,
