I prefer not to, with due respect to Mary.  The answer to the question I believe is already known by the existence of the consultations tomorrow.  I'm sure the GAC will also feel compelled to comment on the new RAA draft when it's published.  The RrSG has had a pretty extensive set of discussions around understanding GAC's desired outcomes, so my belief is this has been thoroughly vetted.

Mason, as you will be carrying this topic with the GAC, does this make sense to you?

Given that negotiations are ongoing on certain topics between ICANN staff and the Registrars Stakeholder Group, and that the Final Report on the RAA was just issued (on which the Council will be expected to act) is it the Board's expectation that the time frame and specific topics for a PDP will be dependent on the duration and outcome of the negotiations?

We need to have these discussions in parallel, rather than having an unacceptable agreement come back to Council and be rejected on Policy grounds.
