Good to see the support from NCUC and NPOC members! I was on the call with Avri today and it was really odd. May I request our Councilors to make the point Avri made about maintaining the integrity of the PDP process during the Council call tomorrow?
It seems to me that all the GNSO Council needs to say to the Board at this time is that the Working Group for the PDP is going strong, doing plenty of work and having lots of excellent discussions. As such, rather than act in haste/under pressure from the GAC/peremptorily, the Board ought to wait for the GNSO's PDP to run its course. The Council should convey to the Board its belief that the PDP WG will come up with a set of firm and implementable recommendations that will have been thoroughly discussed with some of the affected IGOs and INGOs, and advise the Board to desist till this is the case.
Cheers
