Re: [council] GNSO Council letter to the GAC

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

At this point, since I have already started the last call on this as  
explained in a previous email, I would suggest send your changes to  
the council list.  Assuming they are substantive, they will extend the  
last call until at least 0900 UTC on Friday.
Thanks

a.
