[council] Revised ALAC-GAC-GNSO Chair's Joint Letter

[John McElwaine]

Dear Councilors,

Sebastien, Nico Caballero and Jonathan Zuck had a call last week to discuss the joint ALAC-GAC-GNSO Chairs' letter to the Board regarding the Facilitated Dialogue.  Both the ALAC and GAC wanted to state that the status quo should be requested in the second bullet point.  That said, the ALAC and GAC understood that the GNSO chair needs to remain neutral on this topic.  We have attached a version of the letter reflecting this in the footnote.  Keep in mind that this is a joint letter and primarily meant to communicate that work on the Facilitate Dialogue has reached an end but should not in any way delay the next round of new gTLDs.  As this letter has been with Council for some time, we would ask that we have your comments, if any, by Thursday (9/28) at 20:00 UTC.

Thanks,

John
