from the other SGs and Cs that are in support of the meeting? I believe the best way is to note the NCSG’s disagreement, but not attach anything.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
1. I agree with Kurt on the NCSG letter, and if it were to be included, I think we should at least address the assertion that "GAC has been silent since 2013 on the matter of Closed Generics" as called out by Jeff as a mis-characterization of the GAC on the
part of NCSG.<br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
2. I understand the word "modalities" to mean "ways of doing something", but if there's a better word to address Kurt's concerns then by all means, let's consider that.<br>
<br>
3. Would it be feasible to add to the end of the second paragraph, a suggestion that "the conditions and modalities for that dialogue" will be forthcoming? That would indicate that Council is giving thought to those and will continue to do so (hence allowing
for the Closed Generics small team leeway to do its work).<br>
<br>
Thanks for considering.<br>
