Re: [council] Re: Statement of the ALAC on the Joint Applicant Support Second Milestone Report

No objection if you remove the last sentence. There is no chartering process 
for CWGs. The ALAC and GNSO could not even agree on what the charter should be. 
And at least a few of us have concerns about how and why CWGs are being formed.

Councillors,

Please find below the NCSG's suggestion on a message which I could send to the 
Chairman of the Board in my capacity as Chair of the GNSO.

Thanks Mary for providing this draft.

Please let me have your comments.
