So that's one vote for version B, right?

Unfortunately, I cannot commit on behalf of the rysg to that last sentence on 
"observance" and would prefer its deletion since on our last rysg call 
questions were raised and I am not sure it adds to the substance of the note.

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

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.


Tim

Hi - sorry for the delay in getting back to you on the Council letter; there

Dear all,
The At-Large staff has the honor of transmitting to you, on behalf of the 
At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC):

 *   The Second Milestone Report of the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support 
Working Group ( JAS WG), with a revised ALAC introduction (entitled “Status of 
this Document”); and
 *   The Statement of the ALAC on the Joint Applicant Support Second Milestone 
Report.

We request that these documents (attached here) be forwarded to the members of 
the ICANN Board.
The Second Milestone Report was received by the ALAC and the Generic Names 
Supporting Organization (GNSO) on 7 May 2011.  Then, the At-Large staff, on 
behalf of the ALAC, initially forwarded this Report to the Board on 9 May 2011. 
 Please note that the Report itself has not been substantively changed since 
the Board initially received it on 9 May.
During the period 7–13 May, comments on the Report were collected from the 
At-Large Community.  These comments are the basis for the Statement of the ALAC 
on the Joint Applicant Support Second Milestone Report attached here.
The ALAC ratification process for the Second Milestone Report and the ALAC 
Statement will begin on 14 May, and the results will be forwarded to the Board.

Please note that GNSO approval of this document is being conducted 
independently and has not reached the approval stage.

Regards,
Heidi Ullrich, Seth Greene, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber-White, and Marilyn 
Vernon
