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

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

Thanks Tim, Jeff, Mary and Alan,

This would be the proposed message then. Either (I call this version A):

Dear Peter,
 
We understand that ALAC has forwarded to the Board the Joint SO/AC New gTLD 
Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG)'s Second Milestone Report. As the 
other chartering organization of the JAS WG, the GNSO Council notes that it has 
not yet approved the Report. We acknowledge the Board's desire to move forward 
with new gTLDs, including issues relating to applicant support, and hope to 
provide the Board with our advice and recommendations as soon as possible. 
The GNSO Council would also like to inform the Board that it appreciates the 
JAS WG's scrupulous observance of the GNSO-chartering process, in submitting 
its Report simultaneously to ALAC and the GNSO for review.
 
I would be grateful if you could convey the GNSO Council's message to the Board.
 
Best regards,
Stephane van Gelder
GNSO Council Chair

Or (this my version B):

Dear Peter,
 
We understand that ALAC has forwarded to the Board the Joint SO/AC New gTLD 
Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG)'s Second Milestone Report. As the 
other chartering organization of the JAS WG, the GNSO Council notes that it has 
not yet approved the Report. We acknowledge the Board's desire to move forward 
with new gTLDs, including issues relating to applicant support, and hope to 
provide the Board with our advice and recommendations as soon as possible. 
 
I would be grateful if you could convey the GNSO Council's message to the Board.
 
Best regards,
Stephane van Gelder
GNSO Council Chair

As Olga had requested a vote, I would like to suggest that we give ourselves 
until Thursday's meeting to vote by return email to the list on either version 
A or B, and whichever has the most votes is the one I send.

Is that acceptable to everyone?

Thanks,

Stéphane
