Re: [council] GNSO Council letter to the GAC

[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stéphane,

Thanks for sharing the draft, looks good. I do have some suggestions  
though that we might want to consider, and am wondering how you want  
to proceed.  Personally I much prefer using a wiki or Google docs but  
if mail's the only option ok.  Was a list established for this purpose  
and I missed it?
Best,

Bill
