[council] Draft message to the Board

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

In response to Adrian's suggestion, which so far has met with unanimous 
support, I have drafted this short email to the Board. Please let me have your 
thoughts and any suggested edits. Rafik, as JAS WG co-chair and Council 
liaison, I think it is crucial that we have your input before sending any 
message to the Board.

Thanks,

Stéphane




Dear Peter,

On May 10, the Board was sent the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support 
Working Group ( JAS WG)'s Second Milestone Report by ALAC. We understand that 
this report has not yet been approved by ALAC.

The GNSO Council wishes to highlight the fact that it has not approved this 
report yet either. In fact, the Council has only just received it. The report 
was sent to us by the co-chairs of the JAS working group on May 9, 2011.

As one of the two chartering organisations of the JAS WG, the GNSO is keen to 
ensure that the Board understands the nature of the report that it has been 
sent, and the circumstances under which it received it.

I would be grateful therefore, if you could convey the GNSO Council's message 
to the Board.

Best,

Stéphane Van Gelder
GNSO Council Chair
