[council] draft statement on .com

[Thomas Rickert <rickert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
here comes my proposed language for a statement that could be made by Stéphane.

Thomas

The GNSO Council had discussed with the Board during its meeting on Sunday that 
there were several instances where the GNSO Council was not involved prior the 
Board made decisions to seek community input. 
It is with disappointment that the GNSO Council noted that a resolution on the 
renewal of the .com contract was passed last weekend while this very matter is 
a topic for today's public forum. Parts of the community may deem their 
contributions moot when they are not considered by the Board prior to making a 
decision. 
We would like to explicitly point this out in order to make sure that community 
input is sought before resolutions are made and not afterwards when future 
meetings are planned. 

Thomas
