There was no time to take this to NPOC-Voice... Personnally, I support this letter.

Hi all - apologies for the lateness in sending this through to this
list, but attached is an outreach from Mason Cole in drafting a GNSO
Council letter to ICANN CEO.
A number of NCSG GNSO Councillors have supported Mason to take this
letter forward and it is on the council meeting agenda for this week.
It is of course still open for edits and suggestions and, if you have
any, please do feel free to share them and we can discuss these at (or
before) the meeting
Cheers
Joy Liddicoat

Subject: Draft reply from GNSO to Fadi
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:07:24 -0800
From: Mason Cole <[log in to unmask]>
To: Maria Farrell <[log in to unmask]>, "David Cake
([log in to unmask]) ([log in to unmask])"

Maria, David, Wendy, Wolfgang and Joy --

I took the liberty of drafting a council response to Fadi's request
for the council's input on the BC/IPC proposals:
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg13964.html

It's attached here.  The thesis is that the RPMs requested by the BC
and IPC are in fact changes to established policy and not matters of
implementation, and, further that using such categorizations as a
basis for changing policy circumvents the council in a way that isn't
acceptable.  I kept the tone reasonable but I think the message comes
across.

Before I send this to the list, would you read it over an let me know
if it's something you can support?  I hope you can and would think
this is something that aligns with your belief in the council's
responsibility over policy development.

I'm under little impression the BC and IPC would sign on to this, so
perhaps the best available outcome is a letter detailing majority and
minority positions.  What I believe should be avoided is a response
only from the SGs, as this would further portray the council as broken
and ineffective.

Thanks for your attention.  I'd like to get this to the list soon -- I
realize we're all quite busy, but if you could provide feedback soon I
would be appreciative.

Happy holidays --

Mason
