RE: [council] RE: New gTLD Recommendation 6 Community Working Group

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Stéphane,

I am not really commenting on the method that the GNSO chooses to reach a 
position on a topic (e.g whether you choose to convene a group with GNSO 
members, or a group with wider ICANN participation).

My main message - was I think that the GNSO needs to respond on a matter that 
relates to GNSO policy.

ie GAC -> ICANN Board -> GNSO

Given the letter came from the GAC - it would certainly make sense for there to 
be a dialogue of some form between the GNSO and the GAC.   Of course it is a 
pity this did not occur around 2006 when there were numerous briefings to the 
GAC on the proposed policy.  A letter such as this should have been sent to the 
GNSO Council years before.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
