[council] Fwd: [soac-discussion] SOPA Discussions

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

Councillors, FYI, please see the email chain below, showing you my comments to 
the ALAC Chair, Olivier's response and info from the ccNSO Chair on a session 
they are organizing that will be open to all.

Missing from this is confirmation from the ALAC Chair that he will not push 
this idea further at this time.

Thanks,

Stéphane
