[council] REMINDER: FW: [Ext] DOODLE to finalise updated GNSO Review of the GAC Communique

[icannlists]

I see that there is a binary option here, but we specifically discussed in Council that our response should call out the existence of the mediated discussions on this topic in JoBurg and the robust participation in those discussions from across the community, including by members of the GAC.  Is there a reason that this was left out of both options?

Dear Council colleagues,

We have reached a point of near finalization of the GNSO Response to the GAC Johannesburg Communique. The one outstanding item amongst the members of the revision team is the text relating to geographic names. You'll see this text in the attached draft as Option A and Option B.

For our input to reach the Board in time for its meeting with the GAC in the week of 14 August, we cannot push this out to the next Council meeting in late August. For our response to be timely and effective, we need a Communique Response that we can agree on in full before it goes to electronic vote.

We had scheduled an electronic Council vote to open this Thursday, but we don't yet have a final text to vote on. Hence I propose we delay the electronic vote to open next Monday to give us all time to consider and take instructions (if appropriate) on Option A and B.

To help us get to final, votable text, please could you review the attached and complete the Doodle to express support for either Option A or B on geo names.

Doodle: https://icannorg.doodle.com/poll/yqdx3g5gdfi5uz2t[icannorg.doodle.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannorg.doodle.com_poll_yqdx3g5gdfi5uz2t&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=7_PQAir-9nJQ2uB2cWiTDDDo5Hfy5HL9rSTe65iXLVM&m=BFREUbI5WTMHY0Nv4YtrqhJnT4-crT9xfwLOZ3mNleU&s=c1z6kVfXnNyE64HK3gMFo8lKWC8NUQT51ivY-l4SVmw&e=>

Timeline:
·  Monday, 24 July: Doodle (to select Option A or B on geo names text) opens
·  Friday, 28 July: Doodle closes
·  Monday, 31 July: Electronic vote on Council motion approving the GNSO Response to GAC Joburg Communique (including preferred Option A or B) opens
·  Friday, 4 August: Electronic vote closes
·  Monday, 7 August: GNSO Response to GAC Communique transmitted to Board

Many thanks to Marika and the Secretariat team for helping to coordinate both the Doodle and e-vote in such a tight timeframe. Also noting that James and Donna are both away today, so I'm on point to shepherd this through.

Best wishes to all,

Heather
