Re: [council] Whois Review Team Final Report

">Thanks for everyone's input on this. As August 31 is tomorrow, it is now 
clear that we will not be ready to send a Council letter to the Board by that 
deadline.<div><br></div><div>As such, taking note of the comments provided 
below, including Margie's and Bruce's recommendations, I have decided to send 
the attached letter to the Board. I am doing this because there is simply no 
time for the Council as a whole to approve sending this letter. As the content 
is merely factual and in no way carries any Council views, I am claiming 
Chair's prerogative in deciding to send the letter.</div><div><br></div><div>I 
believe it is important that we inform the Board of our ongoing work on this 
issue and our hope that we will be in a position to provide the requested input 
after our Sept 13 meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>As such, I have also 
amended the Sept 13 to include a discussion of the proposed draft WHOIS RT FR 
input from the 
GNSO.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>&nbsp;</div></body></html>
