Avri,

Missed this. But even so, I would still prefer Accountability as the
topic.

Hi,

I did not write that carefully enough.

They did not say do ours or else. Or any version of that.

What they said was closer to: that for it to be worth a Monday slot to 
them, it had to be a topic that was on their plate for this meeting.
So either Fast Track issues or new gTLD issues.

If we wanted to do something else then schedule for Thursday when they 
have already finished the bulk of the work that they need to do.

Similar to Kristina, they did not feel that the topic last time, while 
perhaps interesting in itself, contributed to the work they had to 
get done. I think the issues is more one of focus.

Note, I had intended my message as an offlist message to Chuck. I had 
not planned to give my view in the discussion - but then I sent it to 
the wrong address. Had I been writing it to the list, I would have 
been more careful to try and make sure I did not put in the wrong 
nuance about the GAC position. Fortunately I do not think I 
embarrassed myself as badly as we sometime do when we send a message 
to the wrong address.

Hopefully the GAC will forgive me for the inappropriate implications I 
enabled.

a.
