    <p>Theo, hope you are doing well.<br>
    </p>
    <p>No need to read too much into my words, I'm just saying the GNSO
      Council's letter is still useful, as it helps us show to people
      who were not a part of this process that the community is in full
      support of this negotiation. :)</p>
    <p>The idea is precisely to highlight the CPH's efforts by giving it
      the community support.</p>
    <p>Best,<br>
    </p>

      <div>Hi Mark, <br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I am not sure if I understand what you are proposing?<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>For the first time in ICANN history the CPH's are
        volunteering to make some key critical adjustments to the
        contract we have with ICANN. CPH's are determined to advance the
        language where the community always felt it was lacking in
        certain areas. <br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>So I am not sure how this process needs more legitimacy and
        transparancy? Our goal is very clear I think and I am a big
        supporter of the letter as it will be a game changer in the end.
        <br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>But maybe I am missing some key details here?<br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Thanks, <br>

        <p>That letter reached the BC this morning and I had a read. It
          is very much in alignment with everything we have discussed
          and what is being recommended by the Small Team.<br>
        </p>
        <p>I will incentivize the members to move ahead in drafting our
          letter so that we continue to add legitimacy and transparency
          to the process, leaving behind a solid trail of documents that
          validates this to the broader Internet community and something
