Very strange indeed…..
I kindly ask the NCSG to take a close look at the Answer proposed by the 
GNSO Council BY NEXT TUESDAY.

Here is the draft response:

http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-gac-communique-19jul16-en.pdf

I will ask for a better wording on Advice #1.
On  Advice #4 the ccNSO-GNSO CWG on the use of Country and Territory 
names is preparing for a handover of its work to the PDP on Subsequent 
procedures due to its lack of consensus.

But PLEASE revise the Councils  draft  answer on Privacy and Proxy 
Accreditation (Advice #2) and revert ASAP

best
