Hi all - as you know the next GNSO Council meeting will be next week. The Chair has asked for an update on the Senate hearings on gTLDs that are currently taking place <link?> I've just noticed that some NCSG members were invited by the Committee to make submissions http://forum.icann.org/lists/npoc-voice/msg00064.html and will do so tomorrow: http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/06/ymca-testimony-senate-hearing As GNSO councillors representing this SG, we would appreciate knowing (before the GNSO meeting) if any others are also making submissions and, if so, what those submissions are. If there are any particular issues you want to be raised or for any of us Councillors to be aware of, please let us know.
