Re: [council] GAC Letter on Geographic Names

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Especially since I explicitly mentioned in conversation that this was  
not to be assumed.
But as was said, the fact that we did not mention the subject is  
significant and meaning can be taken from its absence.
As for clarifying, I do think it is something we will need to do in  
the meeting with the GAC.
I am not sure I see a way where  as a council we could do so before  
hand.
Of course once the comment period is open, individual constituencies  
and participants in the GNSO can voice their opinion.
a.
