Dear members:
Here is my first draft of a proposed position statement on the controversial "separation" issue. I have run this by our Council members and Executive Committee; while few of them have had time to discuss in detail I don't think there are major objections; at any rate it is open for discussion now and we need to get a position out because the rest of the GNSO is looking to us to come up with a position not prejudiced by commercial interest.
