Council would like to express concern that the list of questions set out in 
Annex 1 has been categorised as “advice”.&nbsp; In this context, the term 
“advice” ought to be given its ordinary dictionary meaning, and a request to 
the Board to provide various data and information does not constitute “GAC 
Advice”, as this term is used in the ICANN Bylaws.&nbsp; Since GAC Advice has a 
specific status and treatment under the under the ICANN Bylaws, precision of 
terminology is crucial to avoid any perception that there is an attempt to 
direct the Board, rather than making a request for information and attempting 
to impose a reasonable deadline for its provision.&nbsp; That said, the GNSO 
Council looks forward to reviewing ICANN’s responses to the questions listed in 
Annex 1 to the Communiqué.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span mce_style="font-family:
